Thank You Chocmouse. The first aid link reinforces what I've been trying to achieve in letting the panic attack run it's course without making it worse. It's not always easy and definitely not physically comfortable!

My biggest problem with them, besides they are always a surprise, is the amount of time they consume and the length of time it takes to balance out afterwards. Having my day derailed for 2hrs here, 3 hrs there WITH the brain-fog and constant having to redirect myself is exhausting on top of my normal responsibilities.

I've accepted that right now my body just isn't going to cooperate with me. But the adrenaline surges worry me since I internalize stress (always have) and it just shreds my body up physically. So far I've lost part of my colon, had reoccurring bouts of optical shingles and lost one eye, multiple types of ulcers with no bacteria present....
It's getting old and I'm running out of organs to lose.

Just explaining, not complaining!!
The latest bouts of PA escalated to the point I didn't recognize where I was as I was driving. It's like being a one-eyed Alzheimer patient behind the wheel with all the regular symptoms to boot! Yay ME !!! LOL
Yes I do everything safely an pull over while it passes, breathe, listen to calming music till it passes. But Jeeeze!! It's getting old.

More confusing is there are no distinct triggers. Nothing bad has happened, nothing bad is going to happen. I picked the time I felt like getting a few groceries and WHAM!
I'm cutting myself some slack, I'm trying to reset my biological cycles to something more normal and doing the "fake it till you make it", seeing a therapist.....

I'm just frustrated with the process.
