See. below: You can start discussing this problem with your primary care, you can be started on "as needed" medication. As you are having more frequent symptoms, you may need a different type of medication that is taking daily to hopefully prevent further anxiety attacks. Your doctor can also refer you to a therapist to help you with behavioral therapy to be able to understand and cope with your symptoms.

Breathe: Breathing exercises practiced multiple times daily - the 4-7-8 breath is very simple to do. See dr. Tieraona low dog tell about this here: http://tinyurl.Com/ldggymv also you can practice yoga, tai chi, and mindfulness meditation. For some other free guided meditations, see here: http://marc.Ucla.Edu/body.Cfm?Id=22 aerobic exercise may help also -- especially out in nature.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as social anxiety is medication which psychiatrists can prescribe (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
