Yeah, it does feel like terrible danger is about to happen. Also works is exhaling twice as long as inhale (or just longer - who's counting during an attack?) and if you can stand it, pausing for a few beats at the end of the exhale. Works for an asthma attack too.

> Even cupping your hands together tightly over your nose & mouth is good. The few times I had panic attacks, I managed to keep the breathing under control by sheer will power but still had the madly racing heart & the horrible surge of adrenaline as pure terror. All the fear mechanisms kick in & are just as real as if someone was holding a gun to your head, drawing back the trigger.
