I know what you're feeling brotha. I've had them on and off for years. I still get them, but not as much now.

I would get them more when I would take my antihistamines. They would make my heart pound, and such harder, and I would not be able to sleep. Which would then give me the panic attacks. The Dr/Pharmacist said it's a side effect, and there is nothing you can do about it with them. Which is lovely when you suffer from allergies, and sinuses hafl the year.

They gave me Xanex, and continue to do so. Although I do not take them but maybe 1-2 times a month if doing nothing out of the ordinary. Every now and then no walking, breating, eating, resting will get rid of them. I take a Xanex, andI'm back to normal next day, and calm the fuck down that day so I can go to sleep.

Note: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE XANEX 3 TIMES A DAYS AS INSTRUCTED. You can take as needed. For me, it's those odd days, or when I travel mainly.

But I found eating my meals out of my office has helped. I walk daily for 30-60 minutes through the mall, so I have some scenery (I am a fast walker). I also eat better. Cut out fast food, salt, sugar, and minimze my caffine.

I also golf, and lay some other sports to help tire me out. I do not eat before bed, and most importantly, I follow a routine before bedtime.

I do things in a certain, menotinous order so that I am tricking out my body to know it's shut down for bed time. It does work. Takes some time to do, but once you do it enough. You are out like a nightlight w/o the help of any pills, etc.
