10 tips for coping with panic attacks

One: If you feel a panic attack coming on and find you are breathing rapidly, breathe slowly in and out of a brown paper bag or cupped hands.

Although you may feel you can't catch your breath, you are probably over breathing and taking in too much oxygen - making you feel giddy. A paper bag will help your oxygen levels return to normal.

Two: Change your lifestyle. Take regular exercise - this helps to burn off excessive adrenaline. Avoid cigarettes and alcohol. Eat regular meals and avoid processed foods and drinks, to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Three: Don't attempt to fight your way out of a panic attack - this will simply increase the adrenaline. Instead accept the feelings will come and go and allow the symptoms to play their tricks as they will. Practice imagining yourself floating over them. Eventually the panic will subside.

Four: Don't bottle up your emotions. Find someone to confide in, such as a family member, friend or counselor.

Five: Focus outside of yourself during an attack. Listen to some music or do a pleasurable task while waiting for the panic to subside.

Six: Learn a relaxation technique. First close your eyes and breathe slowly and deeply. Locate any areas of tension and imagine them disappearing. Then, relax each part of the body, bit by bit, from the feet upwards. Think of warmth and heaviness. After 20 minutes of doing this, take some deep breaths and stretch.

Seven: Firmly tell yourself that your symptoms are nothing more than an over-sensitized nervous system. They are temporary feelings and are not medically harmful or dangerous.

Eight: Reduce your exposure to unnecessary stress. Be prepared to express your needs to others and assert yourself.

Nine: Look into cognitive behavior therapy or other "talking treatments". You can find a list of practitioners on the website for the British Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Psychotherapies (www.babcp.com).

10: Join a self-help group.

Answer 5

While I've never bee in this situation, I can try to offer some advice.

Have you done research on panic attacks? Because if you research it, and understand it completely, you can try learning how to avoid the situations that make you panic, or tricks on how to lessen the attack. I've never been an anxious person, but after a shooting at my college last year, I would get terrible panic attacks when walking through the area where the shooting happened. I found being with friends often helped, and I forced myself to sit in the area [panic attack permitting,] until I grew fairly comfortable and I can walk through on my own.

I'm not saying to cure this is as simple as 'facing' what triggers the attack. It might not be that simple at all. If you've done the research, loaded your arsenal with tools to help combat this and find it has little or no effect, return to the doctor, or simply go to another doctor.

Answer 6

First let me just say most doctors SUCK, I have been working in the med field as a therapist for the last 15 years and most doctors are ABSOLUTLEY USELESS.
That said, try daily meditation, I realize meds will have a faster effect but honestly if you can convince yourself that you are in controll all the time you will eliminate the problem forever, however if you rely on meds you could be stuck with them forever.
Let me explain something to you, there is no such thing as a weak mind it is the things we choose to think or allow ourselves to except that determines our wellfare in EVERY aspect of our lives, you are tremendously strong, all you have to do is turn those anxiety producing thoughts into powerful harmony producing thoughts, you can do it, many people have been through this and I have as well, just convince yourself that you are un(f'n) touchable and that you were put here to have an awesome life and not to go through life with your tail between your legs, pump yourself up every day, when a stupid thought jumps into your head say/ yell anything
just do not except it.
I was afraid to fly for years, I actually convinced myself every time I flew that this was going to be my last hours alive , honest then one time I started to say to myself "fear is a choice and one that I will not make" I repeated this for about 30 mins and all of a sudden I wasn't afraid any more and I have flown many times since and now flying actually makes me horney, I don't get the connection but whatever, it is better than being afraid, now if they could just get the stewardeses to be a little more friendly I would fly every day.
Bottom line, my friend, you are in controll, make it good.
What ever advice you take I wish you the very best. Peace.

Answer 7

Don't suffer with panic attacks. Change doctors. It's true medications like Ativan and Xanax are addictive, but I take Ativan 2 mg for panic attacks and they work great. That's what they make them for. I don't take them every day - just when absolutely necessary - for court, the dentist, interviews, certain high pressure social occasions, etc. I've been taking Ativan for 4 years and I'm not addicted. Don't give up. Keep trying. Good luck!

Answer 8

My doctor put me on Depakote(although an aniti convulsant it has worked well) 500mg a day and xanax at night and to keep them with me during the day if I need one. I havent had a panic attack for almost 6 months now. I personally dont understand how someone can get addicted to xanax if you are responsible with it. I had been on three a day and it was easy to go down to one at night. I suggest a different doctor because your mental health is very important.

Answer 9

try a psychologist who can help you with CBT to help you re-think the things that make you anxious. Anti-anxiety drugs are usually short acting benzos which are addictive. If you really need to use medication, anti-depressants work in the long term (a least a few months) and you might like to get a long acting benzo like valium for the short term (one month max)

Answer 10

I find it a shame these days that some people including doctors don't know where or care we are at, or take the time to understand.
My doctor has always helped me in the different ways to overcome anything that Really concerns me.
I wish all doctors would.

Answer 11

Benzo's are very addictive. I have been on Xanax for 5 years and trying very hard to get off them. There are some anti-depressants that help also some beta blockers
