How do you handle panic attack?

Panic attacks are triggered by a physiological sense of fear. So the best thing to do is remind yourself that you're OK, you're safe, and you can breath. Make sure you focus on your breathing and inhale for at least 3 seconds. If you inhale, and then hold (to mimic the stress response), before exhaling slowly your body will begin to relax immediately. Practicing yoga/meditation breathing will help you be able to breath during a panic attack. If you think "I'm going to have a panic attack," get nervous, and focus on the weight on your chest and that sentence; you can make yourself have a panic attack. So, don't do that. Remember to breath and remind yourself that you'll be fine in a minute.

How do you avoit panic attacks?

One of the most effective ways to stop having panic attacks is to look at each symptom of the panic attack as it's own thing, rather than a symptom of a panic attack. For example, someone might always feel really dizzy when he is starting to have a panic attack. Then the next time he feels dizzy and can't explain why, he begins to get nervous, and the nervousness causes more symptoms, and the cycle continues until he's actually having a panic attack. A way for him to get better would be to start spinning, and replicate the dizziness, so he can realize that dizziness doesn't necessarily mean panic attack. If you sweat excessively during panic attacks, then go to a sauna. If you feel out of breath during panic attacks, hyperventilate. Isolating the symptoms can help stop them from escalating.

How do I relax with Panic Disorder?

Use a combination of breathing techniques and muscle tension-relaxation techniques. Take a deep breath, hold it just for a few seconds, while clenching your fists, then exhale while releasing your hands. Do this once every five or ten seconds for 20-30 reps (repetitions). This allows you to recover more quickly from a panic attack by 1) not promoting hyperventilation, and 2) discharging muscular tension (which tends to build up during the course of a panic attack).


Do panic attacks make you tired?

Panic Attacks can emotionally and physcially drain someone. During a panic attack, the brain trigers the "fight or flight" response, without necessarily a big threat of danger being present. The brain becomes stressed, and the body can feel these affects long after the attack has subsided. Being as stressed as panic attack make you can make you tired. In simple terms, you freak out, you get tired.
