how do i stop panic attacks, any magical cure?

Answer 1

Kalms tablets helped me - a natural safe, remedy available at any chemist. They contain hops and valerian which calm the nervous system and also really help you sleep.

You could also try St Johns Wort - good fo mild deppression and therefore panic attacks which are related. Dose up on vitamins especially B6 and magnesium. These things all help along with a healthy diet - no junk food,alchohol all these things add to depression and make it worse.

I also found counting backwards from 100 helped.

Don't worry they will go over time, just look after your bodyand it will look after you.

Answer 2

Stop bottling up any anxiety, find someone to have a good talk with and get stuff off your chest. Panic attacks are a build up of adrenalin in your system and if it doesnt get released then it causes this reaction that is a panic attack. Exercises is brilliant as you work out all the aggression from your system. Try taking Omega 3 fish oils as these make you less sensitive and have a calming effect on your brain, Kalms herbal remedy are also good. If you think you are depressed the its worth seeing your doctor as maybe some counselling would help. I suffered them a while back because i wasnt dealing with my problems,denying anything was wrong. Once i started talking they eased off, Good luck xx

Answer 3

I dont think there is a magical cure but it may help to learn ways to deal with panic attacks when they occur. Try a breathing technique where you breathe in for the count of seven then out for the count of eleven. It concentrates your mind and regulates your breathing. I do understand how crippling panic attacks can be and that 'try breathing' its much easier to say than to do, but with a bit of trial and error I think it can help.. Beyond that maybe try to figure out if anything in particular triggers your panic attacks - eg small spaces, crowds, birds etc. Perhaps some counselling would help? It may be worthwhile going to see your doctor if the attacks carry on.

Answer 4

Accept them. I tried to fight them for years and ruined part of my life. I tried joining No Panic and had telephone counselling, then I tried valium and I saw a hypnotist for relaxation and none of it really did much good. Then I decided to live with the panic and accept that I suffered from the attacks, but refused to let it stop me doing things. Id do it anyway and if I had an attack I would sit wherever I was and calm down, I also stopped hiding it and told everyone including work how I was feeling. By facing up to it, it lost its hold on me and apart from the odd attack when Im really stressed about something theyve gone. I wish you so much luck with it cause I understand how it affects your whole life. Take care.

Answer 5

find a good counselor is my advice, panic attacks can usually be associated with an underlying psychological problem hidden away in your subconscious mind and it manifests itself physically through panick/anxiety attacks or headaches or fatigue or other physical symptoms. maybe whatever is hidden away is resurfacing now because it feels your ready to deal with it??? try talk to someone and pick away until you find it, id bet my left toe that it will work, however, just remember that finding the right counselor is like finding the right pair of shoes, so dont settle for anything less than the perfect fit! it sounds scary but itl be worth it, my own counselor says that from the moment were born our brain takes everything in, like a computer, and even something like your mother changing the way she feeds you can have some sort of an effect on how you are in your adult life. she also says that like a computer the mind can be reprogrammed and certain feelings or beliefs dont have to be a permanent thing..... you should give it a go, its really interesting!!

Answer 6

speaking from experience, the best way is to take small trips , do not give in to the panic,go to places that you are familar with and only go there until you can deal with that ,and then on to your next challenge, I had a time when a short distance would challenge me ,and by taking it gradually over a long time I was able to have my first holiday abroad this year and felt great ,could not believe it , no medication, do not let anyone push you ,and say no to going somewhere that your not happy about and the day will come when you'll be cured, I'd say the BROWN paper bag is the best.I sincerely wish you the best .it can be beaten .

Answer 8

There is no magical cure, but it is possible to get the panic or anxiety attacks under control. Most people find that getting their lives organized helps - preparing for events before they arrive. It also helps to learn and practice relaxation techniques.

Answer 9

I used to suffer from Panic attacks and took Paxil for them. I have gotten away from the drugs and am completely panic free. I tried exercising which gives you more 'feel good' hormones,i also stay away from stimulents such as caffeine,pot and alcohol. Next time you feel one coming on you need to take some deep breathes,mabe open a window and tell your self nothing bad is going to happen and try to smile :) Good Luck!!!

Answer 10

I had this for years and found that facing up to the reality of my fears brought new wealth to my life. If something or some situation causes these attacks push yourself to the limit to fight the fear then stop. Try again, and keep trying until the fear lessens.
For instance: I was affraid to get on a bus because I thought everyone was breathing my air and i felt suffacated.
I got on the bus and got of at the next stop. I then got on the bus and got of 2 stops later, then 3 then 4. Each time building up confidence until it no longer worried me because I realised I could breath without fearing.
Try it, what have you to lose.
Also listen to Bobby Mc Ferrin's , "Don't worry be happy" you can't lose.
