I'm just going to repost this, as I have posted it before........

The answer to all of this is BIO FEEDBACK. It is a program you would see a doctor for and you will learn how to breathe. Once you learn the technique, there is no reason to have another anxiety or panic attack ever again. I had a panic attack, started this program, and I almost had another but I was able to use what I learned and I haven't had another episode since then.

Medications are only temporary and you don't want a temporary fix, you want to say good bye to it forever.

Like other women said before me, caffeine is a no-no...drink decaf.

Also, once you find out what the reason is for the anxiety to come on, take yourself out of it and do not put yourself there again. Everyone's reasoning for it is different, so I am generally speaking when I say to take yourself out of it.

If you work or live in the city and are interested in Bio Feedback, call Dr. Caroline Boutin. Here is her website. She works out of Yaffee, Ruden and Associates.

If you do not work or live in the city, see if your doctor can recommend Bio Feedback doctor to you. Any good doctor will reccomend this program to you....or maybe they are not knowledgeable about it.
