Do you know why a bag is used? Forgive me if you already know all of this, but just in case you don't.... Anxiety attacks make breathing difficult, you feel suffocated, and you end up overbreathing. You take in far more oxygen than you should which can make you feel light-headed, sweaty, trembly and disassociated from your surroundings. The bag forces you to keep inhaling your exhaled air which contains more and more carbon dioxide, and less and less oxygen. This gradually lowers the toxicity in your system caused by over-oxygenation. As the symptoms subside, your anxiety drops and you feel able to breathe normally again. If you have asthma, on the other hand, you need oxygen and shouldn't be breathing into a bag. Did the inhaler just not make any difference at all, good or bad? I'm glad you are going to another doctor soon.

Thanks Lizzie, I did not know this. The inhaler didnt make any difference at all. . . .
The lady that helped me, and gave me the bag, told me I wasn't getting enough carbon dioxide. What you said, sounds exactly like what happened to me. Thank you so much for giveing me this great advice! I'll update this when I get back from the doctor this afternoon.

EDIT: the nurse scheduled my doctor appt. wrong, she typed it in as MARCH 24th so now it isnt for 2 more weeks. . ..
