I take medication for anxiety. I only take it when I'm going into a situation in which I know I will get anxious, rather than every day. If that's something that interests you, talk with your doctor about it. I don't know of any natural ways to alleviate anxiety attacks.

Most likely you sould see a doctor first to rule out other causes, if you haven't already.If you have had the same symptoms many times before and have had no damaging effects anxiety medication will probably help .It also helps me when I feel my particular symptoms to remind myself that I have gotten these feelings many times before and to not obsess over them: this only reinforces your anxiety and will make it worse.If these attacks come only when you are in a particular situation(s) you may suffer a phobia.I'm not a doctor but I could be the poster boy for those suffering from anxiety disorders both generalized and acute.I've had them for 20 years and I'm still kicking so try not to woory too much.I know thats hard to do but you have to try.

i have terrible anxiety attacks the only thing that helps me is to take a xanax, sit down and rest for a few minutes try to push the bad thoughts out of your head i know it's hard but once you relax and get em out of your head things'll get a lot better GOOD LUCK

You need to see your doctor who can prescribe medication and relaxation techniques to help you overcome your anxiety attacks.

Remember to breathe. Focus on that and try to relax. If you continue to just let your self go and fall into an attack, you're going to drive yourself crazy.

yes - it sounds just like an anxiety attack - i used to stuggle with that problemand i found medication was helpful - obviously you want to talk to your doctor and see if they have other suggestions first (therapy, etc.), but i low dose of medication (clanazapam) was so helpful!
