Weird??

I had something totally weird last night and wondered if anyone else has had this experience? First a brief background. I started having panic attacks about 4 years ago. I was asleep and woke up feeling like I couldn't breathe. That was the beginning. I finally went to my doctor who gave me Prozac which has been a blessing! Since starting the med I have the rare beginnings of an attack but usually slow deep breathing will keep it down. So last night...I have had a sore throat that just won't go away. I had heard from a friend that blackberry brandy is good for that. So I got some yesterday and took a few sips before bed. I instantly started feeling really weird and within an hour I was going into a full-grown attack. I thought for sure I was having a heart attack. I did the breathing thing which helped but it still lasted about a half hour. Weird!!!

Thanks so much SC. I usually drink a glass of wine with dinner but just rarely the "heavy" stuff. I WILL definitely stay away from the brandy from now on :) It was just a really strange occurrence. I have to thank this Board for the exercises. I've tried slow breathing but had never done it with a count before and that was what really helped.
