oh my yes! my wife gets them and she used to get them often,but she takes cymbalta and it has slowed them down alot.if your not into meds,ive seen her just breathe thru them,deep breaths. also,get away from where or what gave u the panic attack-call someone,it usually will help settle her down talking about any-else. i dont recommend major anxiety pills like xanax if u dont have them like everyday-because it will leave u really loopy and hard to function. cymbalta or zoloft is the easiest route med wise.

i used to have panic attacks…
they are usually slightly genetic.
they are caused by stress. eliminate stress by going to the gym, cardio workouts some sports…and have some alone time.
Eating healthy food helps. avoid difficult situations. just relax, and it WILL go away.
if its from work, either cool it down a little or quit, because honestly..stress kills.

Do NOT use or get anyone to breath in and out of a paper bag!!! If your treating someone get them to calm down. Demonstrate how they should breath (deep breaths in and out at normal respiration rate). Move the person or remove the reason for the panic attack if possible. Crowds of people dont help!!

Well, you could ask your GP if they could prescribe you some medication like diazepam to try and help you relax more, but personally I think medication should really always be a last option for things like this, as they all come with side effects like drowsiness that can be hard to tolerate. Panic attacks are sometimes the result of underlying stress and anxiety and it may be that you have to work to reduce the long term stressors in your life before the panic attacks disappear completely. If you are lucky your GP might have access to some primary mental health services that could offer you something like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which will help to reduce the likelihood of a panic attack occouring and help you better control them when it happens. It is also worth being aware that some things like coffee which increase the heart rate can help trigger a panic attack, so it is worth keeping a mental record of any possible triggers like this and avoiding them.
Also, be aware that the problem with panic attacks is that people often mistakenly believe that they are dangerous and / or that they are having a heart attack. The problem is that these thoughts tend to heighten the problem, as the second you think your life is in danger you get even more tense, which makes your heart rate go up even more, which can make you even more convinced that something is seriously wrong, and heighten your heart rate even more, etc, etc, and thus the whole thing can spiral into a vicious cycle. Remember that it is physically impossible to come to physical harm from a panic attack alone, and don’t let yourself fall into this vicious cycle. Instead, when it happens it is worth saying to yourself something along the lines of ‘this is a panic attack, and I know it will pass shortly and that I will be fine as it’s happened to me before, and I always have been fine’. This will help reduce the anxiety and hopefully shorten the attack duration overall.
Hope that helps.

Hey, I understand how you feel…
The uncomfortable symptoms like sweaty palms, "jelly" legs, extreme alertness, "impending doom" feeling and the fight-or-flight response.
I’ve been there. I’m an ex-victim. Sometimes the deep breathing or distraction techniques doesn’t work - a full-blown panic or anxiety attack happens later.
Sometimes you experience panic attack out of the blue and such.
Do NOT buy Panic Away, Linden Method, EasyCalm or the Panic Puzzle. They do NOT work - I’ve tried them and their solutions are similar - it DOESN’T WORK.
Medications do NOT work - I was under many antidepressants (Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil and Zoloft) and anti-anxiety medications (Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax) but my condition was the same - no improvement at all.
The only program that really work is The Panic Attack Solution. It’s found by an ex-victim. You can check out his old blog in his official website to read up some useful tips.
But the package is the best - it teaches 17 powerful techniques and the real solution to panic attacks. I’ve bought it and it really helped me - it’s the BEST anti-anxiety package or book I’ve read.
His theory really makes sense and it works effectively!
You will learn why your panic attacks can happen without warning sometimes; why having stimulant causes panic attacks; and many-many other useful tips!
