How come every time you smoke a blunt you feel like you are dying?
Not everybody feels like they are dying when they smoke blunts. You might be having a panic attack. Some people who smoke marijuana experience panic attacks as a side effect, especially from high doses. A panic attack can feel like you are dying -- you feel terrified and your heart races, you might feel weak, tingly or dizzy, have chills or sweat, and you might have chest pain or trouble breathing. If smoking blunts makes you feel awful maybe you shouldn't smoke them.
Do you feel symptoms of panic through out the day without a panic attack?
It depends on the situation you are going through. For me, if I know that something that makes me panic is going to happen later on that day, then yes i feel nervous the whole day long and usually don't have a panic attack later. So if you know that something is going to happen, then yes. If not, its still normal for us to feel nervous every now and then.
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.

What is symptom prescription in family therapy?
Symptom prescription is a technique whereby you address the symptoms that someone brings to therapy by encouraging them in some way to engage in those symptoms. For example, when treating panic disorder, after psycho education, skill instruction and skill mastery, the person is likely told to engage in behavior that will bring about a panic attack (e.g. going to the grocery store, hyperventilating etc…). Once a panic attack or panic-like attack is occurring the person is encouraged to use the skills and remind themselves of the educational aspects. However, most that experience a panic attack feel a restricted ability to breath, resulting in a cascade of other thoughts and bodily sensations. Thus, during this session, while having a panic attack or panic -like experience the person might be told to "hold your breath" or " try to stop breathing". Thus, they are told to do the very symptom that they fear. This occurs with the breathing issue as well as the seeking of panic like situations.
