I read that if you have a panic attack while driving it best to pull over but where i live the shoulders are very narrow. what's the next best thing?

Short & long of it:a: In the moment, slow your breathing! (panic is fueled by oxygen!) in the long run, learn about panic & how it works. Psychoeducation & cognitive behavioral therapy - "cbt"- can help you learn to manage panic disorder & even overcome it. Seek help from a clinical psychologist.
