Can an Inhaler Help with Panic Attacks?

Can an inhaler help with panic attacks if I don’t have asthma? Mine make it hard to breathe, my chest hurts, and I hyperventilate.

No an inhaler won't help with your panic attacks, chances are they will make them worse. It's all about controlling your breathing, in for 4 seconds through your nose, hold for 4 seconds then slowly for 4 seconds out your mouth. Put green noise on while you do this and you will get to control your panic attacks.

It helps to center your focus on the things you can control
