i am suffering from panic attacks on a regular basis i am taking beta blockers which i find help but i am wondering if anyone else has the feeling of being breathless daily?? it doesnt last more than a few seconds at a time and doesnt only happen when an attack is coming on.

the anxiety can cause this, best to relax and not tense up
books on overcoming anxiety have useful info for coping with panic attacks

Feeling breathless is VERY COMMON to panic attackers. It is caused by hyperventilation. And hyperventilation is caused by your feelings of panic. Read my thread on "Distracting Techniques" it may help you overcome some of this.

yes, I actually feel this alot, and sometimes I am scared to go to sleep because I am afraid of not waking up. It is scary, and usually when I feel this I end up having a panic attack. hope you feel better.have a great day.
