If you're very uncomfortable and feel short of breath proceed to the emergency room for appropriate evaluation & testing before assuming it's an anxiety reaction. Otherwise, if you feel you're experiencing a type of panic attack, go into a dark room close your eyes,take slow deep breaths but blow out the air slowly. Think pleasant thoughts,visualize pleasant scenery. Later consider stress managem
