Panic Attacks While Driving. How To Resolve It ?
I am 66years old and been driving since i was 20. I have for some time suffer from what I can only decribe as panic attacks while driving. I cannot overtake a lorry and if I try I freeze half way and have to back off. I ca manage local roads better.
In no other part of my life does this bother me. my wife does most of the ndriving now but I would still like to resolve this problem.

hi
in all probabilities, its not panic attack. so rest assured. may be its just your old age, and you are simply 'losing confidence'.
try some relaxation techniques. cheer yourself up. you will be fine.
if they don't help, consult a psychiatrist.
with regards.
