Answers:
Hi, sorry to hear you are feeling so bad. The following steps will eliminate (or at least significantly reduce) your panic attacks:
1.Breathe properly - if you control your breathing, you control panic. As soon as you notice the signs of anxiety, check your breathing: breathe in slowly through your nose pushing your tummy out (to the count of 5 or so). Breathe out slowly and for a bit longer (to the count of 7 or so) through your mouth. Do not breathe rapidly or shallowly (in the chest area). This will soon restore the balance of oxygen and you will feel a lot better.
2. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy! CBT is proven to be the most effective thing for panic attacks, OCD and anxiety etc. It takes a bit of work, but it is super effective. (After 15 years of panic attacks, mine stopped completely). You can speak to your doctor about taking a course or you can take a course for free online at: www.livinglifetothefull.com
3. Try relaxation exercise tapes (progressive muscular relaxation). They really help if you practise often enough. You can get free downloads if you put "progressive muscle relaxation" into Google (e.g. lots of universities have them as free downloads)
With each step practise makes perfect. (i.e. practise the steps every day, not just when you are feeling bad). I hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
think of the most peaceful moment you've ever experienced. also, inhale slowly and exhale at the same speed.
if you were laying like your a seal or like a u ( belly on the floor) its ok.its nothing to afiad of.if you really want to calm down listen to music.
breathe into a paper bag, it works!
Fortunately panic attacks do not last longer than 10 minutes. Deep breathing techniques are very effective in addition to reminding yourself that that is what is occurring, a panic attack and that it soon shall pass.
Call a doctor!
go see a docktor and search online to
take a benzo. hopefully a doc is treating you for this condition and has given you something like Xanax for this type of situation.
