How do you get rid of panic attacts?

Question

Depression is bad enough so how do you get rid of panic attacts. Medicine will not even make them so away! Got rid of mouthy boyfriend-i had to act like i was walking on egg shells-should this help me and if i stay to myself as much as possible is there any chance they will go away? It really scares me and nothing hardly ever does!

Answer 1

I think sometimes isolating can increase the chance of panic. See if there is a support group for panic or anxiety in your area; check with your local hospital to see if they sponsor such a group or can lead you to other resources. You can call anonymously just to get information; it's a first step.

Online, check out the Anxiety Disorders Association of America. You can find it listed along with other Panic Disorder resources on this link:

Answer 2

You are best served by finding a mental health professional for such problems and support groups in your community. Also, depression, anxiety and panic attacks have many causes some of which are physical not mental. I went to a doctor compalining of problems such as these and went through many years of anxiety with severe panic attacks and many more years of depression. I felt like something was physically wrong and after more than 20 years I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. Mitral Valve Proplapse can cause problems and depression occurs because of feeling so helpless and at it's mercy. Sometimes doctors aren't much help because they can't imagine what you are going through and push medications. In the case of sleep apnea the medicines, which might include xanax and sedating types anti-depressants can actually aggravate sleep apnea making symptoms worse. I wish you the best..Don't ever give up on yourself.

Answer 3

There is a way to help yourself get rid of and prevent panic attacks without drugs.

Energy therapy such as Emotional Freedom Techniques can help you easily and quickly and can also assist with helping your depression. It is a bit like acupuncture without any needles and does not take months before you can experience results.

You can also easily learn to do it yourself so if you feel an attack coming on you can prevent it right away, without having to wait to see a therapist.

Behavior modification.
Retrain your brain to get rid of panic triggers.
Take slow deep breaths and slowly let the air out slowly.
Get some brisk exercies. Walking is great, and so is swimming

Answer 6

Yes- the panic attacks will go away if you allow them to.
Staying quiet and on your own is a good idea.
When you feel one coming on, just sit yourself down and breathe quietly- saying to yourself 'This will pass if I let it'- eventually you will find they get less and less and you will feel more confident about dealing with them in public.
The experience you had with your boyfriend sounds like it has affected you- have nothing more to do with him and you will grow strong!

Meds usually will not, unless you want to numb your body. Here is some helpful advice...

Diet. Treatment of anxiety may center on developing general healthy dietary guidelines, in addition to making some key adjustments in your relationship with food.

Dietary recommendations for anxiety include:

* Choose high-quality, organic, hormone- and antibiotic-free “grass-fed” meats.
* Increase your omega-3 essential fatty acids by selecting flax seed, wild-caught salmon, minimal-mercury albacore tuna, fish oil, avocados, and sprouted walnuts.
* Add plenty of dark-green leafy, organic vegetables to your diet.
* Add healthy saturated fats to your diet, such as organic virgin coconut oil.
* Eat complex carbohydrates that digest slowly and gradually increase blood sugar levels, such as asparagus, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, and raw apples.
* Add nutrient-dense, sprouted nuts and seeds to your diet.
* Choose organic, cage-free eggs.
* Choose dairy items that have live, active cultures (probiotics), such as organic, unpasteurized yogurt and kefir (as long as you’re not allergic to dairy).
* Drink purified water throughout the day.

Foods to AVOID include:

* All stimulants:
o Limited caffeine from coffee, tea, and caffeinated sodas – Caffeine can interfere with healthy sleep patterns, especially when taken in the evening hours.
o Tobacco products – Cigarettes contain over 4,000 chemicals, many of which cause anxiety and disrupt sleep.
o Stimulant drugs – Some over-the-counter and prescription medications may contain caffeine. Side effects of some medications include anxiety, insomnia, and restlessness. If you are taking medications, consult your pharmacist about anxiety as a possible side effect. Also, stimulant recreational drugs or “uppers” such as cocaine increase anxiety and can produce panic attacks.
* Sweetened fruit juices, since they spike blood sugar levels too rapidly – Opt for whole fruit instead to benefit from its healthy fiber.
* Limited intake of fruits that have a high glycemic index such as apricots, raisins, banana, papaya, and mango.
* All products containing refined sugar and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, Splenda®, etc. Choose a natural sweetener like Xylosweet instead.
* All simple or refined carbohydrates (white bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, crackers, etc.) – Read more about good carbs and bad carbs.
* Alcoholic beverages in excess since they interfere with normal sleep patterns
* Carbonated soft drinks that cause blood pH levels to become acidic
* Bottom crawlers, such as oysters, clams, and lobster, that may contain toxic levels of mercury
* Deep-sea fish such as tuna, mackerel, and swordfish, that may contain toxic levels of mercury. Choose minimal-mercury albacore tuna instead.
* Farm-raised fish that contain PCBs and not enough omega-3 essential fatty acids, due to their land-based diets. Choose wild-caught salmon instead.
* Sodium nitrite found in processed foods such as hot dogs, lunch meats, and bacon
* Monosodium glutamate (MSG) found in many foods as a flavor enhancer
* Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) found in many processed foods, deep-fried foods, fast foods, and junk food – Read more about good fats and bad fats.

Exercise. Regular exercise can help to relieve stress, tension, and anxiety by increasing blood flow to the brain, releasing hormones, stimulating the nervous system, and increasing levels of morphine-like substances found in the body (such as beta-endorphin) that can have a positive effect on mood. Also, expelling your excess negative emotions and adrenaline through physical activity can aid in producing a more relaxed, calm state from which to deal with the issues and conflicts that may be causing your anxiety.14

Other tips for anxiety sufferers. If you have “silver” dental fillings, get an evaluation from a mercury-free dentist who specializes in the safe removal of mercury amalgam fillings. Mercury is a neurotoxin that damages and impairs
