I have a self-diagnosed case of agoraphobia, self-diagnosed because my symptoms are very similar to agoraphobia.

My question is to anyone who may have it. I am not sure if there are any, but what OTC medicines will help with the symptoms? I want to go to the doctor, but I would rather see if I can get some easy help before I go that route.

One of my family members has panic disorder with agoraphobia. She’s been to therapy and the doctor, but does not want to take pills. She’s housebound, and seems to enjoy being domestically helpful and content being at home. She doesn’t seem to show much interest in the outside world.

Panic attacks are a self fulfilling prophesy, as are many issues, and it really does not matter, even slightly, how they begun. Sometimes someone has a virus which causes shortness of breath and other symptoms of a panic attack (that can sometimes seem like a heart attack to the victim), sometimes someone has a horrible experience which causes them to panic, and often people have no idea where the panic came from in the first place. Like I say, though, it really does not matter how they started. What everyone who has learned to do panic attacks has in common is this. They worry about panic attacks, they are anxious about panicking, and it is this fear of the fear that sustains the problem in someone neurology. Its a loop, a vicious circle in the mind, a bit like watching a horrible TV program in your mind that you hate, but you cant seem to watch over and over again. What we do fundamentally train the person to stop being anxious about having a panic attack, and with NLP and hypnosis, train and educate the mind so that you become calm and centred once more.
