If you are sure: It is not due to a medical reason, you can learn self hypnosis and reduce your anxiety. It can be used in a preventative way to keep you less anxious and prevent the breathing problems. It can also be used to help you stop the panic symptoms when they arise. It can be learned quickly and help you right away. Call a psychologist trained in hypnotherapy.
