Unfortunately I am all to familiar with panic attacks ... I don't care for pharmaceutical remedies, prefer to use something natural. Still researching for alternatives for my Spiriva and my handheld inhaler. That being said, I found a capsule of KAVA KAVA ROOT taken 20-30 minutes prior to an activity (which I know will end up in panic attack) totally puts me at ease. I can't believe the difference it makes - total life saver for me. When I told my Dr I take them, he surprised me by being familiar with the plant and told me they were natures equivalent to valium or another drug he mentioned, have forgotten the other drug he named. Please do your own research on this. Another thing that has helped tremendously is major change in diet. I kept a food diary for awhile to see if what I was eating was triggering the anxiety attacks ... and it helped a lot! I have found by eliminating processed foods and focusing on a plant based diet, my attacks are fewer and far between. I truly believe that given the right nutrition including living enzymes, our bodies are able to heal themselves Hope this helps.

Thanks, Christina Ann- I think i will try and see if i can try the Kava Kava root.I like your attitude!I would like to hear more of your experiments with food and supplements.So i'll add you to my team ( which is already too large although not enormous.I wish they had a page that listed all one's teammates!).

@A MyCOPDTeam Member, yes I believe diet can be of help, I eat very little meat, mainly fruit vegs, eggs, etc not too much bread, and like yoghurt, keep to a simple diet which is of help to me, but, make sure that I cover the main dietry requirements. Have a lovely day blessings

Have u asked for a light tranqulisor first, works wonders, and no ill affects.

Has your doctor suggested that you take a low-dose anti-anxiety pill 30 minutes before your neb treatment..If not why not discuss that with him.
