When the attack is bad I struggle to swallow. I feel that my throat is closing up and that is terrifying!

[statycBG]

Yes.All the symptoms are normal.When you r in panic almolst everything seems to be hard,but it passes and you feel better :)

Yes Phil thats me down to a tee:blush: I always have water and mints with me wherever I go. I don't know what does it but hey if we knew that......:winks:

For me its not when I am having an attack it is the beginning of one, so I try and have my "things" with me.

Yes I get this as well. I have found in the past that chewing gum helps so I always have gum in my bag.
