Panic Attacks?

I have panic attacks in stressful situations, but only in the aftermath. During the situation I am calm and collected, but after everything's said and done I break down and have a panic attack. I asked my psychiatrist once about it and he said it is not normal but it is not unusal. There are a small percentage of people like that suffer from panic attacks. I started laughing because I always knew I wasn't normal. One thing you could do to help is breath. Learn to breath to calm yourself. In through the nose slowly, out through the mouth slowly. Keep repeating in your head that you are OK and there is nothing and no one that can hurt you. Then there is also medications but you would need to see a specialist for that.
