Question

how to get rid pof anxiety and panic attacks

Answer 1

Hi Bryan

Here are some ideas to heal your condition.

Cause
Anxiety disorders occur in people of all ages, but appear to be more common among women. The occurrence of an anxiety or panic attack is often unpredictable, but it may be associated with certain situations such as driving a car. The exact cause is complex, involving constitutional factors, emotional stress, biochemical imbalances, and environmental triggers. In women, hormone imbalances can cause anxiety. Therefore, hormone assessment is essential. Amino and fatty acid imbalances can also play an important role in triggering anxiety attacks.

Natural Cures

Diet: Assess your diet to reduce excessive consumption of stressor foods such as refined sugars, honey, maple syrup, or cow`s milk products. Consume vegetable soups, broths, and a wide variety of green and yellow vegetables. Add more complex carbohydrates such as whole grains, beans, seeds, and nuts.

Flower Essences: Flower essences can prove very helpful in managing and helping to eliminate anxiety. Use Aspen for apprehension, foreboding, and fear of unknown origin while Mimulus is for fear of known things, shyness, and timidity. Red chestnut is used for excessive anxiety and over caring for others. Rescue Remedy® (combination formula) is for general stress from anxiety, and Rock Rose is helpful for coping with terror and panic from known fear.

Herbs: Panax ginseng has a tonic effect on the adrenal glands, improving blood flow to the brain and reducing the stress associated with mental/emotional issues. Valerian root, an herbal tranquilizer and muscle relaxant, is another good agent for calming the nervous system. It helps balance mood swings and is not habit forming. Valerian-hops combination formulas are good daytime sedatives because they don`t interfere with reflex actions. Passionflower is another mild sedative that helps reduce anxiety, high blood pressure, nervous tension, and muscle tension, and encourages deep, restful sleep. St. John's wort, a highly popular remedy for depression, has proven effective for anxiety and mood swings as well.

Homeopathy: Aconite, Actaea rac., Drosera, Calc carb., and Sulfur are all useful homeopathic remedies for dealing with anxiety.

Hypnotherapy: Self-hypnosis helps to impart to the mind imagery designed to bring about deep levels of relaxation.

Meditation: Develops the mind`s ability to stop anxiety at its source.

Nutritional Supplementation: The following supplements have all been shown to help reduce feelings of anxiety by calming the nervous system: calcium, magnesium, vitamin B complex, 5-HTP, pantothenic acid, and adrenal and kidney glandulars. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid), an amino acid, can also affect mood by increasing levels of the brain neurotransmitter serotonin (a mood regulator).

Alternative Professional Care
If your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating and relieving the symptoms of anxiety: Acupressure, Biofeedback Training, Bodywork (especially Massage Therapy), Environmental Medicine, Guided Imagery, Hypnotherapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine (for a self-care approach, we recommend the book The Mood Cure by Julia Ross), Qigong, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Yoga.

Best of health to you

It depends what kind of anxiety you have. I had chronic hyperventilation which triggered frequent (I'm talking up to 5 times a day) panic attacks where I would basically sometimes even black out. It's not nice but you're definitely not the only one. I went to my GP and they referred me to a 'therapist'...ie a counsellor. That helped a little. But I realised my panic attacks stopped happening when I got with my (now ex) boyfriend, because I felt safe and happy again. So what I think you should do is maybe see your GP and then sit and think about all the things that bother you. Write them down if it help. Then start slowly working on ways to improve them, I'm not saying a relationship will cure you, I'm saying for me thats what made me feel happy again- all you need to do is find yours!=) Good luck. Oh and as a ps. Docs often dont take anxiety seriously and will try and palm you off with beta blockers to calm you, which in my experience a) dont work, and b) and not good at all for you. Try something herbal like Bachs Rescue Remedy =)

Answer 6

Diet change and exercise should do the trick. Eliminate caffeine, alcohol, chocolate, soy, sugar and wheat from your diet. Eat mostly fresh fruits and veggies. Stay away from cigarettes, marijuana or any other recreational drugs. Start exercising more, preferably Bikram Yoga, but any aerobic exercise will do. Getting more sunlight will help boost your serotonin too. I beat severe depression and anxiety without medication...you can too.

Answer 7

Negative beliefs, or worrying about worrying, add to your anxiety and keep worry going. But positive beliefs about worrying can be just as damaging. It’s tough to break the worry habit if you believe that your worrying protects you. Worrying can be helpful when it spurs you to take action and solve a problem. But if you’re preoccupied with “what ifs” and worst-case scenarios, worry becomes a problem. Unrelenting doubts and fears can be paralyzing. They can sap your emotional energy, send your anxiety levels soaring, and interfere with your daily life. But chronic worrying is a mental habit that can be broken. You can train your brain to stay calm and look at life from a more positive perspective.

Answer 10

I used to have panic attacks in addition to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Now, I take Effexor XR and it has significantly helped me. Occasionally, when I am hormonal, I can feel one coming on, but I can usually talk, pray or breath myself out of it. If they are really bad for you, see a doc. There is no point living this way.
