Thank you guys ever so much, yea I have alot on my mind I will talk to my doctor about the Magnesium and see if this can help me. I think I need a more natural approach to the problem. I try so hard to talk it down it get worse and I am really in a panic and it happens when no one is home. I hate that..

There are many videos online demonstrating potentially helpful breathing exercises.

This one is called the 4-7-8 Breath, explained and taught by Andrew Weil, M.D., in this video: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/VDR00112...nstration.html

Many find this one, and many other breathing techniques, quite helpful. Practice makes perfect.

I can attest to the helpfulness of this particular breathing exercise.

Dr. Weil states this is a very powerful tool for dealing with anxiety.
He states he teaches this to people with intractable anxiety conditions with great success.

I hope you'll consider giving this a try.

Here is another technique to try, taught by my mentor, Geshe Kelsang Gyatso. It is a Buddhist Meditation technique, but is secular and suitable for all.
