What Is The Difficulty In Breathing When Diagnosed With Anxiety Attack?

I ran out of my Xanax five days ago because someone accidently packed it before moving to Oregon. He will send it to me , but meanwhile, I am having a severe anxiety attack. I am unable to breathe. Is there something I can do to feel better? I am bi-polar with ADHD and anxiety disorder. Also, I am searching for a new psychiatrist in Los Angeles/SantaMonica. Any suggestions? Thank you. Julie

Hi and thank you so much for this query

I am so sorry to hear about this anxiety attacks. Seems your drugs had been working great for you but for the fact that you could not have them as planned. I will suggest that you stick to the current treatment plan. Beside drugs, your psychiatrist can help provide some adjustment and coping techniques that would help you to stay calm during attacks and reduce its frequencies. Please, go to Google wesearch and type"psychiatrist in LA area" and you would be provided with so many. Make a choose depending on what works best for you and contact him/her.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Thank you so much for patronizing our services and please do feel free to ask for follow up clarifications and information if need be. I wish you the best of health.
