This is often first symptom that will trigger off a panic attack. As soon as sufferer feels they cannot breathe then heart begins to race 50 to dozen, then you begin to feel dizzy like your going to pass out and that’s when fear of death hits you dead in your tracks.

Or of course, you could feel short of breath, then dizzy (or light-headed), then racing heart beat then scared to your wits end that your going to die or pass-out.

If you’ve ever felt this sensation before, then you should be aware that this is classic symptoms of a panic attack.

It can hit anytime, anywhere. Heck, I used to get this one a lot while driving in my car. And anyone who can relate to that knows that is dam frightening! Because now you’re afraid you’re going to have a car accident with it!

The most important thing in this scenario is to deal with first symptom. The shortness of breath. I will begin by explaining to you why you feel shortness of breath.

The blunt of it is obviously poor breathing technique, which apparently majority of world does not breathe properly. But for anxiety sufferer it’s usually much more predominant. The anxiety sufferer takes very short quick breaths, therefore not allowing sufficient amount of air flow to your lungs and body.

To repeat where we are, my sweetie (my wife June) had breast cancer a few years ago and we opted 1) to have a lymph-ectomy (mistake) and later 2) radiation (good decision). Regardless of whether it was a mistake we did it and result is that she has to be very careful about not injuring her right arm. Last summer and fall she burned herself on our oven three times, one of them very seriously. There are other articles covering where else we have gone, but this is on how and when to use Aromatherapy.

Remember effect of Lavender oil? She happened to go on an outing with several girl friends right after bad burn and in talking it over with them they decided to put therapeutic-grade lavender essential oil on burn. She could feel it healing immediately and in spite of this being a large burn (2” x 6”) it healed with only a very small scar, about size of a half-quarter (like a half-moon shape).

Needless to say, we are sold on “therapeutic grade of essential oils from Young Living. They can be used in several ways, very effectively. These methods of use, or application, are: 1) Apply oils directly to bottom of feet (more on this as we go on), 2) apply essential oil directly to bruised or wounded area, 3) diffuse your essential oils into air, and 4) add certain “edible” essential oils to water or food for both exotic and exquisite flavorings.
