Panic Attacks Relief

By Eric J Thomas

The world today is full of stressors for the common man and woman. Work, family, and financial problem abound leading to stress on the mind and body. This overwhelming pressure can bring about anxiety and even panic attacks.

Lowering the stress in our lives in the number one thing that we need to do to keep the more serious conditions from happening. Heaping too much on at one time can be a recipe for disaster. This can be a reason for panic attacks.

Our hearts can only handle so much stress too. Stress can affect the heart seriously. This anxiety that can happen from this can give cause one's blood pressure to go up, poor eating habits, and eventually lead to panic attacks. Heart disease could follow this and make a heart attack occur. Not being able to sleep is another one of the symptom for anxiety. Too little sleep can bring on serious conditions to one's health.

Panic attacks can accompany anxiety. This malady is the paralyzing fear that something awful may occur. This may be felt physically. Sweating, shaking or shivering, nausea, dizziness, and the strong desire to flee are some of the symptoms. This is the "fight-or-flight" response, multiplied, and is usually unfounded.

One real easy exercise to do during a panic attack is just breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold the breath for about 1 or 2 seconds, then exhale slowly out of your mouth. Do this numerous times closing your eyes during this. Concentrate on relaxing your body as in your shoulders. Tell yourself the panic attack only last a short time and nothing serious is going to occur.

You may do exercises that relax you at home. There is music available for purchase at music stores or for download online. This music is usually very soft and organic and sometimes has a person speaking in a soft and reassuring voice guiding you through a mental and physical relaxation technique. When a panic attack ensues, you can use this as a tool to bring it under control.

Talking to someone may also help. If you know a person is there for you, call them or visit. Talking things out with an understanding friend can do wonders to relieve stress and anxiety that has built up over time.

Positive thinking, on an intentional level, is important. Assure yourself on waking that the day's stress is nothing personal, and that you can handle it. Having a good attitude before striking out can be a buffer against whatever the world may throw at you. Panic attacks do not always have to be unfounded...they can result from an outlook that is bleak or bound for failure.

Search out counseling that does not include medication can bring you relief. Many professionals are available in various capacities to help you manage not only your anxiety but also your panic attacks. Cognitive-behavioral treatments actually have been used for a long time and have helped many people. This therapy works by allowing the patient to identify personal behaviors, and other things that help to create stress and also anxiety in their lives. Hopefully this therapy will make the patient understand how their own conduct and lifestyle affects their anxiety.

There is no reason to suffer any more panic attacks. There are techniques and treatments available for the anxiety and panic attacks sufferer, without the use of medications.
