You sound like you're having a panic attack. I would think the Valium would help, but then I've never taken it so I don't know. Have you ever taken Xanax? That's an anti-anxiety med that works really well in these types of situations. You might want to ask the doc about that. Of course, you wouldn't want to take it with the Valium.

I know what you mean. This happened to me several years ago. I would notice every breath and wonder if I did it 'correctly'. That was before I was ever on any meds, and it went away on it's own. I think when I got so busy with things that I had interest in I forgot about it.
But, I'm doing it again, right now. Thanks;))
