So if you can try to leave the environment you are in while you are having one, think of something that makes you angry and then, once it's gone, think of something peaceful/something you love that makes you feel safe. Try that.

p.s., Jana, you are really smart too, you know. And nice. And funny. Need I go on?

Thanks Annie,
could I join what you said about Jana?
this psychological explanation is very interesting. I wonder if the anger the neurologists caused me so many times, is what made it easier for me to tolerate my respiratory symptoms? so in fact they actually did me a lot of good then?
also, my concern is that those "panic attacks" may be in fact respiratory muscle weakness that has been overlooked by the neurologist. as we all (unfortantely know) this is not a "rare" occurence.
