Answer 1

I nearly did this morning, had 2 last night.

Glass of water, do you have ANY control of your breathing(?) if you do, seriously, i held my breath and it helped.

Go ahead and read my last question...it's on that exact subject.

Answer 2

Yes,I suffer from anxiety attacks!! I've been on Zanax for a couple of years, but I've been gradually taking myself off them. To do this I've got the attitude no matter how I much I worry about things...whatever will be will be and there's not much sense in worrying about things I have no control over!! Talking to a friend that can calm you down..helps alot but just don't let worrying consume you. I think that for me my anxiety attacks are psychological and that knowing that a pill can get rid of it makes it easier to just "pop" a pill, but I'm learning to face my fears in a "real" way!!!! Good luck to you and if you ever need someone to talk to just email me!!!!

Just take long breaths if u think it coming.
Cool drinks will help. Water is best.

Also don't forget to stand under a shower on a daily basis. Water therapy. When water cools head and falls down the neck, it is stress relieving.
Do massage scalp before that. Then shampoo off.
Try it out for a week.
Best wishes.

Also do YOGA, Pranayam.
It is Yoga of breathing.
Will rid it.

Answer 5

I have read some litterature about panic attacks. But they allways seem to have a more scientific approach and that is nothing I need in my struggle to survive those horrible panic attacks. This is a "hand on" and very practical book. I felt it was written to me. I am sure that you are going to feel the same.

Joe Barry writes exactly how I think. The examples are perfectly described. And the method is genius. I recommend this book and thanks Joe Barry for writing it. It changes your life

Answer 6

my brother was told by his gp to think of a happy place where u are completely camn and protected. it could be a beach u frequented when u were little...a relatives house...somewhere u 've never been. conjure up this place when you are calm, so the next time u feel an attack coming on , u can 'visit' this pkace to help calm u down. deep breathing should also help. go to your local library and see what books you can get, u may also be able to get free counselling from your local health board. Good luck =D

Answer 7

yes, i have had anxiety attacks in the past. they were usually brought on by an overwhelming feeling of sadness. i tired to focus on my breathing and ignore the thoughts. it was very difficult. at first, i could only focus on my breathing for a few seconds then i would breakdown again. but, eventually it did become easier because i would be so exhausted.

Answer 8

Yes, I'm having one right now, matter-of-fact. Very painful if I do say so. It's hard to breathe, I shake in a spaz way, and my heart hurts. Not fun...

My therapist says to close your eyes and breathe in and out while thinking of rocking. Like rocking in a chair, or swaying in a hammock. She says the moving helps relax you. I'm not sure if it works. I tried it but I'm just in so much pain it's kind of hard to do. Maybe you'll have better look.

Answer 9

This works for me----hold a clear quartz crystal about 4 inches long in each the palm of each hand. Breathe slowly in through nose, out through mouth.

Answer 10

Yeah I take iron pills. Iron pills help regulate you heart beats as well as make you more active. If you are high tolerance to drugs take a shower it may decrease your anxiety.
