Glad to see a thread on panic disorder, as we have been dealing with it in my family as well. My son went to the ER several times thinking he had anaphylaxis, before being diagnosed with panic disorder. So far he has avoided meds by taking a multi factoral approach. No caffeine, sufficient rest, meditation, exercise, healthy diet, therapy. Meditation he has found especially helpful. In the year before his diagnosis, he was in a major car accident, and recovered from a rather serious injury related to that accident. Had ACL surgery in addition. He is doing fairly well right now. Given the family history, I do think that meds might be advised. But am proud that he is working on lifestyle choices that will only keep him physically and mentally healthier in the long term.
