I understand for me it is shopping queues which is so awful because I gotta eat so I go early morning shopping. I find deep slow breathing helps a certain amount as panic attacks give u rapid breath. And a calming phrase repeated in your head as a distraction. Also a tip is a personal stereo helps good for soothing calm music. Also b4 going out sit with eyes closed repeat a calming phrase in ur head and do controlled breathing. Main one is reduce alchol even tea and coffee can have some affect. Hope that helps email me if these tips work for u or anyone else. Also more tips are very welcome.



kind regards Andy

Hi people I'm new here and have a nasty problem.



Once i was feeling unwell at a meeting at work and passed out in front of all my colleagues - very embarrassing - and of course you have the mickey taken out of you for some time after that for it.



Since then I get worked up and have a serious panic attack WHENEVER I got in to a meeting. I find it hard to breath, feel tense, anxious, like I have to escape, and worse, I feel incredibly faint.



I now have a fear of going in meetings as its getting worse and worse all the time.



I need help. Anyone else been in this situation?
