I get it often when I'm anxious. If I'm low on the panic scale, say 1 to 4, the deep breathing exercises help me. Midway through the panic scale, say 5 to 6, exercise helps. If I'm way up, say 7 to 10, I just have to distract myself with other things. Once I stop paying attention to the feeling, it tends to go away. The good news is that regardless of how your feeling, this can't hurt you. It's just anxiety.

anxbev,

What you're experiencing is common. I, as well as many others here, have had the same situation. Work on breathing exercises if you have program. If not, go to a local library. They must have some sort of breathing, meditation CD you can check out.
