    Hi kristina and welcome

    COPD can be a very hard thing to come to terms with. Do your panic attacks come from this or some other source ?

    Is there anything we can help you with ?

    Hello Kristina - do you do special breathing for your COPD?  Always spending more time breathing out than breathing in? (Expelling the CO2 to make room for the oxygen I think).  Would this type of breathing help with the panic attacks?

    I don't know whether it's just something done for TV or not but what about using a bag to breathe in and out into? I assume there is some truth in it for them to show it. I must admit that I haven't really noticed my breathing during attacks. I just get very stressed out, start shaking and crying and just want to curl into a ball and disappear.
