Stop Panic Attacks

Stop Panic Attacks., I have been experiencing panic attacks nearly every day for the past year. I was so desperate that I visited my doctor who prescribed Xanax. However, I’m really reluctant to take the medication as I want a natural way of treating the panic attacks. I thought it would be a good idea to ask family and friends whatpanic attacks treatment works for them when they are feeling anxious as I am willing to try anything! I thought I would share the ideas I received with you.

One suggestion was to try drinking camomile tea as it is considered to be very calming. Also suggested was vitamin B complex and fish oil with vitamins. Also to try taking Melatonin and St John’s Wort.

I also decided to look on some forums so I could ask some panic attack sufferers for advice. A couple of people suggested breathing into a paper bag as an effective short-term treatment forovercoming panic attacks. However, reading more about this I discovered that this treatment has also been criticised for not being effective and even potentially increasing the severity of the panic attack. This is because the technique can lower oxygen levels and increase carbon dioxide levels in the blood – an imbalance which is thought to bring a panic attack on.

Cognitive behaviour therapy was suggested tostop panic attacks. In this kind of treatment for panic attacks the person’s mind is ‘retrained’ to think about their panic attacks differently. Counseling was suggested to try and find the root cause of the panic attacks.

So now I have lots of things to try out, hopefully one of them will work for me and I won’t have to take the medications prescribed. Hope you have found them of some help.
