A. brandon is right, but people who have asthma sometimes panic when they are having an attack because they are affaid,scared.

Q. Is there any herb good for panic attacks that work right away?

A. I am not familiar with any herbs that can solve panic attacks. Panic attack is a medical condtion and if you are experiencing it often you should seek medical care, in order to provide you with proper treatment, either behavioural or with medications. There are good medications out there that can work fast and help you with panic attack symptoms.

Q. Books I have a panic disorder. But I don't like all these web articles. I prefer to read books. What books(that will help me with my problem) do you recommend me? It may be stories or some medical books. Thank you.

A. i heard a lecture from an israeli psychiatrist named prof. Yoram Yovel (i think..) he has a book named "mindstorm". it talks about psychology, psychiatries and neurobiology. i have no idea if there's an english version of it , i was told about it fro an Israeli friend who invited me to the lecture. but if so- i highly recommend! it was a fascinating lecture from a very smart and coherent man!
