How do you control you symtoms?

[yorkylover]

I just try and relax,do relaxed breathing.Someone is usually around me and they reasure me.I always keep a brown paper bag near by to breath into and this helps me regulate my breathing.When Iv calmed down a bit I then listen to a relaxation tape,so Im listening to what there telling me and take my mind of what Im thinking.

So far i haven't needed a bag to breath in. But that is one of my fears that i wont beable to breath. And this brings on a attack.

Hi Bubba,

Like Ellen says Breathing and relaxing can help, also distraction is a effective and good technique. If you can distract yourself for at least 3 minutes the symptoms usually reduce.
For e.g Try doing sums in your head, sing a song, count colours in the room where you are. that way the attention is taken from your body and doing something else.

Hope you feel better soon,

Love
