I get really bad panic attacks, like when driving or going to class and I can’t control them. it’s really getting to be bothersome and is very stressful.
I keep hearing that controling your breathing is helpful. But when I get an attack, I can’t breathe. Already I have fainted in class because I couldn’t breathe and I got lightheaded.

I had the same problem. There are plenty of medications out there to treat this problem. I have been on Paxil CR since I was 12 years old. I find it very helpful. Also there are breathing techniques and other calming techniques to use. There are books available most likely at your local library on this subject.
