@cool09, do your panic attacks just happen at random, or do you notice anything that could be triggering them?

Do they happen around the same time of day, or all different times of the day?

You might have heard this before, but I'll mention it just in case......Getting regular exercise can help, and also getting enough sleep is very important....Not getting enough sleep (at least 7-9 hours) can contribute to panic attacks.

Drinking alcohol, smoking, or having too much caffiene can make panic attacks worse.
Do you have a therapist?........A therapist could possibly help you learn some coping skills and techniques to deal with the panic attacks.
