So last year around this time I had my first panic attack. Long story short, it took me around 6 months to recover from that. I was a wreck and always thought I was going to die. 

So fast forward. Up untill today I thought I had fully recovered. I had'nt felt panic in weeks. Months even.
And today I was cooking dinner and my mother in law suddenly has a stroke like incident, talking jibberish, throwing up, fainting. Scary as hell. The paramedics got her and she is okay not, turns out to be extremly low bloodpressure. But the thing is I have been having mini panic attacks all night since. This has triggered something and now im feeling that dark cloud coming back. How do I prevent myself from going back to full blown panic mode? Breathing exercises seems to make it worse for me cus then I have to focus on my breath wich makes it worse.
