Thanks for your response, sanju, I just started noticing the heightened awareness thing a couple weeks ago when I started this program. Apparently it had been part of the problem for years, but I never really noticed it before. Now that I know it's a factor in my panic attacks, I'm writing down exactly what I'm feeling while it's happening. It helps me to do it while in the middle of it because, for one, it gets my mind on something else, and two, it helps me to recognize the syptoms for what they are. And you are so right about it being temporary, when I have an episode I remind myself that it never lasts, and it will be over soon. And of course, it always is shortlived. Lately though, I seem to have more attacks, (although they are much less severe) and I wonder if it's because I am paying more attention to the symptoms.
