I found out after searching and searching that for me, the way to health and wellness started with me learning out to relax and not stress out. I believe, for me, panic attacks are brought about by my own tense mental state, and by learning how to meditate, I was able to learn how to control my emotions and fears. Learning to breath deeply, learing to meditate properly with tapes and CDs, learning how to change how I think has completely changed who I am and my health.
Thanks to this, I almost never have panic attacks any more. I had what I thought was a panic attack a couple of days ago and I was able to just look at the feeling, regognize what it was, and it just went away. I'm not special, anyone can learn to do this. You do have control over your emotions if you choose to. I've attached a link to a web site of a woman who helped me a lot with her book. Hope you're feeling better soon.
