Hi, this is my first post. I started having panic attacks about 3 months ago, when my son was 3 months old. the first one scared the hell out of me, I thought I was dying. I felt like my throat was closing off and I couldn't get a deep breath. things are much better now, but daily i have trouble swallowing my food, I feel like I'm going to choke. It mostly happens when I start thinking about it, but I find it really hard not to think about it. glad I found this site, hopefully things will get better
