I had a very bad panic attack about an hour ago. See i have mitral valve prolapse and panic attacks occur in about 90% of people that have this. My heart races all the time and i get out of breath alot. Well i couldn’t get my breathing to slow down and to calm myself down i decided to go for a ride well i got stuck in traffic and started to hyperventilate and i almost parked my car in the middle of an extremely busy highway to find help. I drove far enough to get to where my friend works and when i started talking to her i calmed down a little. But being that my hearts still racing and i’m still out of breath i’m scared that its going to happen again. Any suggestions?

I get severe panic/anxiety attacks sometimes. It’s happened a lot more recently, and I’ve went to the doctors to check everything but they said it was okay. Usually I get a slight anxiety attack during school, but it’s not as bad as my severe ones. Anyone know anything I can do to relax myself while getting these? I usually start breathing really fast and somewhat lose breath, I get very hot, and my heart RACES. Anyone know anything that I can do or use to relax myself? Thanks.

so i’m like permanently having an anxiety attack 24/7..my stomach tightens up, my vision changes and how i view everything around me, i feel outside or disconnected with my body and mind, my heart races, headaches, get really hostile and start taking it out on anyone i come across..i just don’t know how to make it all go away. i need some help, some suggestions.
