I have a few questions about anxiety attacks and going to Mass. If someone has an anxiety attack before Mass(not on a regular basis, but every great once in a while), is is a mortal sin to miss Mass? What about if they take medication for that attack? Should they go to Mass if they are the driver and the medication has the potential to make them sleepy? What about going later if the attack has resolved and the medicine is no longer affecting them (i.e. making them sleepy)? Does that person have the obligation to go later when they missed earlier Mass for a legitimate reason?
