True? my grandma told me if i cann talk i can breathe she was a registered nurse,i recently saw it wasn't true, i use it to calm down in panic attacks

True: She is absolutely correct. If you can talk you are able to get air in and out of your lungs. Deep breathing as a matter of fact will help; in panic attacks. It is also true that you will not have bad anxiety with deep breathing.

I recently had a panic attack, it was awful needless to say. Ever since then, I've had difficulty breathing- shortness of breath to keep it short. Is this normal? I'm genuinely concerned about my health?
