How do you get through your panic attacks? What Natural Treatments do you Use?

I swear I sometimes have panic attacks but try getting a medical marijuana card and try some weed. It sounds crazy but I swear it will help alot, and if you risk your lungs just buy edibles and youll have a nice body high. It is a very good soltuion and ask your docter for a medical card or a prescription for some medicine to stop your panic attacks. Go over your research and make the decision. Hope this helped. Peace

I used to have bad panic attacks–and the way I overcame them was through my spiritual faith–and by viewing things rationally…I prayed to God, and came to the realization that no matter what anxiety came over me…I AM alright!!

When you view things from a logical perspective–you can lose the anticipatory fear that creates panic in the first place. The next time you get a panic attack, consciously think to yourself: "this is only a feeling…Feelings are not facts…they do pass!" And if you think about (in the midst of the panic) what really could happen to you–you can find peace in the fact that you are okay, you’re not going to die, it’s just a feeling…

Also, when I was about 22 years old, I met up with a psychologist that told me the following:
"Panic attacks have the same physical elements as the excitement that LOVE creates…" He told me that the only difference is that panic attacks are negative, and love is positive…So when the next time I panicked I would think about love, and visualize someone that I was in love with (at that time), and it can distract you from your panic, and help you mentally switch to the positive…REMEMBER, a lot of overcoming panic attacks is just: mind over matter!

A good book I bought about seven years ago, that you could rent at the library or buy is: "The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook" by Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D.

marijuana really does help. i remember several instances when i was having panic attacks. after my first puff of herb, i was laughing at myself for having a panic attack over whatever. it really put it into perspective and made it seem trivial.

if you don’t wanna get into smoking pot, as it does sap ambition, try other herbal sedatives.

valerian root is known as nature’s valium.

bacopa is similar to lorazapam except it also helps with short term memory!

don’t take prescription pills!

tried all the natural alternatives i named. all really helped.

Breathing into a paper bag is actually based on science…

(It increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the blood so you start breathing slower (because your brain measures the amount of CO2 in the blood NOT the amount of oxygen to determine rate of respiration - thats the very simple explaination)

I was plagued by them for about three years….after my first year into them I started doing meditation and writing in a journal. It helped a lot - but the effect took a while to set in…

Panic Attack Help

Panic attacks are no laughing matter. When you have a panic attack, you may feel like you are about to die. Your heart will race, you will sweat profusely, you may have butterflies in your stomach, and you will shake or tremble excessively. You may even feel nauseous when you are having a panic attack. Finding panic attack help is your first step to living anxiety free.

Panic attack help comes in many forms. There is medication, counseling, self help products, and natural remedies. With so many forms of help to choose from, it can be hard to make a decision on what will work best for you.

Medication is usually the first step people take, because they think it is their only option. Prescription medication can work great for some people, but everybody is different. Some people experience extreme side effects to anti anxiety medication, and so they don’t use it.

For people who do not take the medication, there are many other forms of treatment that you can choose from. Self help products like Panic Away have been getting great reviews lately, and many people are very happy with their results. It basically teaches you how to notice an attack coming so that you can stop it before it gets bad.

Other people use natural remedies that are a concoction of herbs to treat their anxiety with varying results.

When it comes to having attacks, you just want to get to the root of the problem and stop it as soon as possible. When you are able to stop panic attacks from happening, it might be hard to think of anything else. This is why there are so many different forms of panic attack help out there for you. You just need to find one that you are comfortable with.
