Hey Kelly,

Have you looked into any coping mechanisms? Breathing exercises, water on the face, meditation? You could also go to a walk-in clinic, the doctor taking your blood pressure and giving you a once over may help alleviate some of the concern.

When I realize I'm alone in my building I can get an attack, with practice I've learned to feel them coming and breathe through them.

I'm seeing a counseller and 'acceptance' is really helping me in multiple areas of my life.

Hope you have a better day!
