Try to remember and maybe recite to yourself "Panic cannot hurt me. Panic cannot kill me." Try drinking ice water to slow your body response to the panic. Distract yourself. Clean the house, read a book, or just come on here. Coming here and just the act of typing helps alot to calm me.

You will be fine and you will get through this. Keep posting. We understand and will try to help.

thank you why do i get the tingling on my left side of my body?? does anyone else just have it on one side i feel so alone im very scared that somethink is wrong with me and cause i panic all the time that no one will believe me

I don't know why its only on one side of your body. I have the tingling usually on both sides of my body. I would not worry too much about it though if this has been happening for a long time. If it is a newer thing then I would demand tests to rule out anything so you can be reassured. My doctors didn't listen much to me either until I found a doctor that really understood me. She ran all the tests I wanted, found nothing, which helped me alot in just dealing with the panic. Its always nice to get everything ruled out for peace of mind.

yeah my doctors are not much good dont listen to me think im overreacting yeah i was gonna ask if i could have test done so i no for sure it is just me panicing i just hope i can get up there without having a panic attack i can not wait in the waiting room makes me worse
