Anyone else get panic attacks at work?

Been dealing with this for about 6 months now. Just out of nowhere my heart starts racing and I feel like I can't breathe. Had one yesterday during a meeting with my boss and had to excuse myself to the bathroom. Really embarrassing. Started seeing a therapist but wondering if anyone else deals with this and what actually helps. The meds my doctor suggested make me feel weird so I haven't started them yet.

Yeah man, I've been there. Started happening to me a couple years back. The garage became my spot to just breathe and reset when it got bad. Definitely worth talking to someone about it though, a professional can actually help with this stuff.

That sounds rough, and six months is a long time to deal with that. Have you had a chance to see a doctor about it? My kid doesn't understand why dad needs quiet time, but getting checked out made a real difference for me.
