I'm having a panic attack right now!

How are you feeling today Joey?
 
You made an interesting discovery about your panic attack and how to manipulate the outcome - good for you! Use this as an exercise for future episodes so that you can learn to exert more control on how it manifests and how to relieve it.
 
Hopefully there will be fewer episodes in the future, however post on here again if you have one. Sometimes you can get a response quite quickly. More importantly, it will help to calm you down as you describe your symptoms.
 
Good luck,
