I went for my driving test 2 times. 1st time i thought that due to nervous that's why i failed. Till I went for 2nd test ,I realise the attack its beyond my control. Its there a possibity to go for a 3rd round without the attack come? I have tried to stay calm but I can't, went to do some internet research and realise that such attack is uncontrollable. Pls help. Thanks for yr reply.

Sounds like you should go to the doctor just in case. But it very likely to be a panic attack. If so, it is certainly not uncontrollable! Or in other words... you can control it!

First and foremost you need to learn how to breathe properly. This will control your panic. At the moment, when you feel anxious, you begin to breathe more rapidly (or yawn or sigh). This extra intake of oxygen makes you feel even more anxious – and you start breathing even more rapidly. This cycle continues until you hyperventilate (start trembling etc) and have a panic attack.

The good news is you can stop this cycle! As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.

If you find anxiety is becoming too prominent in your life, try a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks. It takes a bit of work, but if you put the effort in it’s super effective. You can speak to your doctor about doing a course, or you can take a course for free online at: http://www.livinglifetothefull.com/...

Remember that you always have the power to stop your panic attack!

Good luck! I hope you start feeling better really soon.
