I feel that way too, like there is a weight on my chest, or my lungs are filling up with oxygen. For me though, I need to be alone. I can't have anyone near me at all. That's what is hard, I feel rude telling people to leave me alone, but I just can't concentrate on trying to make it go away if someone is looking at me or trying to talk to me. I have even stopped going places where I know it will be too crowded, or where I wouldn't be able to separate myself to be alone and deal with it.
The BuSpar seems to be helping my mood, but I can't take it the way I'm supposed to (15 mg 2x's a day) because it makes me so dizzy. I only take it at night, 1 pill, so I'm not sure I'm getting the full benefits, but it has gotten easier to deal with the fear of the panic attacks.All I can say is try yoga breathing. Slow, deep breaths in and out through your nose. Try to feel the breath going all through your body. Maybe if you concentrate on that, you won't be concentrating on the panic as much.
