I've been on meds for almost two months because of this (helped to aleviate my dr/dp, too).

You must force yourself to stop thinking that you're lacking oxygen. In fact, it's the excess of oxygen in your bloodstream that makes you feel even more anxious and panicky. Whenever you feel like you're suffocating, try either to ignore it or to breathe through a paperbag or through the palms of your hands. Hopefully someone else will be able to provide you with more specific info on this.
