Flying with bronchitis and panic. How am I going to do this?

[becks888]

I've had Bronchitis for a week. I have HA and whenever I'm ill I panic. More so this week because I'm all alone. Tomorrow I'm flying to visit my son. Hoping that having some company will help with the panic.
But first I have to get on that plane! I think it's the fear of having a panic attack on board and in front of other people that's scaring me. Or maybe fainting. (I've never fainted in my life....)
Any survival tactics to offer me.
Please!

If you have never fainted in your life then I am sure you won't faint on the plane :)
Take some relaxing music on an mp3 player and just close your eyes and concentrate on the music.
I have had a panic attack on the plane before and I can't even remember if any one was looking or not but it passed and I was fine and so will you be :)
Have a lovely time with your son.

Thank you! And I see there's a thread started by Gingerfish about coping with air travel too.
