I'm not sure if hyperventilating helps when I'm having an attack - it seems to be something I just do instinctively (when I'm not shouting and swearing!) I tend to wander around with my eyes shut muttering, cursing, puffing and blowing, stumbling, falling and generally looking pretty stupid. Not much fun for my partner who has to steer me around so that I don't walk into the furniture or fall down the stairs. Thank God for the supporters/carers out there - where the hell would clusterheads be without them?
