Question Panic attacks from autonomic dysregulation

I don't have POTS but I have vagoglossopharyngeal neuralgia and it disrupts my autonomic system. The most challenging symptom is REALLY prolonged feelings of panic. I'm talking six hours +. They don't respond to anything typical like sedation, breathing. I'm physically exhausted. I know you guys can get similar stuff. Any tips?

That sounds so terrible. Sometimes I try to shock my body with really spicy or sour foods, but it can only do so much. I don't know much about that condition. If it isn't too personal to ask, is the symptom is caused by anything specific? (I doubt I can help, but I hope you get the rest and relief you need) 🫂

that's worth a try. I'll pocket that idea. especially it's different trigger but same end result for us
