How do i deal with panic attacks while sitting in college classes (sad)? keep having to leave class. breathing exercises don't work. nothing works.

May need counseling: You may benefit from working with a counselor to determine the triggers for the panic attacks and to learn other coping skills in addition to the breathing exercises. Medication may also be indicated if the panic is preventing you from attending school successfully until you get this under control.

Start w med eval.: It may uncover underlying medical problems that need to be addressed. Cognitive Behavioral therapy can be effective. Psych meds may be indicated. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hrs sleep /night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises or meditation. Take care.
