It seems I can be just sitting and all of a sudden it hits me and I have a hard time breathing. It comes from out of no where. It scares me because it feels as though I will not get my breath back. At times I reach for my inhaler but I do not think it does any good.

I look around and I try to ground myself to the room by noticing colors, feet on the floor, different furniture, curtains, and just try to calm my breathing. At times it will work, but at other times it will not work.

I just wondered if anyone had any experience like this and could share what they have done to stop.
