Mine seems to be triggered by my breathing, that is, unless I have one while I'm asleep (which has been happening).  I have asthma and this pregnancy is exacerbating the symptoms.  As soon as I even think I'm having breathing problems, the panic sets in.  

I've been trying to distract myself.  I put a movie on while laying in bed, and watched it until I couldn't keep my eyes open.  That seemed to work tonight.  I'm going to try the radio now.

If I let sleep creep up on me I can get some Zzzz's...  Otherwise it gives me too much time to think and obsess.

I'm 39 weeks and so far what helps me the most is church, church family, and praying. I don't want back on meds even after my son is born. They never helped anyways so I don't want to go back to something that doesn't work.

I've been getting physical symptoms...  Dizzy, can't breathe, shaking, nausea, overheating...  I try to stay calm and get through it but sometimes I just feel like I'm going to pass out...  I would get them very rarely before I got pregnant, but now it's so much worse...  Just today I had one so bad I was considering going to the hospital...  And now I get anxiety about getting anxiety...

What do you ladies do to help? I'm not at the point where I want to take medication.  I'm 30 weeks and I want to be able to get through.

I suffer from panic disorder. Some days are good, and some days suck! I don't know about you, but I get a lot of physical symptoms with my anxiety like dizziness, feeling like I can't breathe.

[Jonesy2015]

Yes but it didn't help

[butterfly062]

did u take any medication bfr pregnancy

[Jonesy2015]

I have always had anxiety and depression. It's hard during pregnancy too with all the hormones. I refuse to take anything though because of my child.
