My Panic Attack Solution

I am a nineteen year old female who gets panic attacks where i feel like i am having a heart attack but i am not. I have had ekgs done and they are perfectly normal. I often have a hard time calming down, and I am afraid of alcohol, caffeine and nicotene and certain times. My attacks always happen at night. I dont abuse drugs and when i drank i did it in moderation, I quit drinking altogether and I dont smoke or take in caffeine at night time. ANyone have advice or ideas on how to help me calm down??

Boy do I have advice for you. Too much to type here, honestly. I have been dealing with panic attacks since I was 8 years old. I know that sometimes you dread even getting up in the morning because you know you will have an attack in that day/night. I am so sorry you have to deal with this. Please get online and talk with me any time you need to. I can answer any questions you have as I have researched, read books, spoken with Docs, and witnessed my two closest family members go through the same thing. I will also add that I was put on Ativan about one year ago. I take it as needed, a 1mg easy to swallow and very quickly dissolving pill. When I feel one coming on, I take a half mil and poof begone. However, do not take one every time I have one, only if I feel I can’t calm it down on my own. I have had intense training on meditation to solve my problems before they fully start. It took me years to finally learn how to calm myself down, but that’s because I was so young to begin with. Should someone show you certain techniques, you should catch on rather quickly because you are much older than I was when it all started. I wish you the best of luck.
