Tips For Panic Attacks – How To Deal With It?
1. Regular exercise is beneficial for preventing panic attacks, as it helps increase the production of ‘feel-good’ chemicals called endorphins in your brain. Aim to do half an hour of exercise a day, such as going for a brisk walk or swimming, to reduce the likelihood of an attack.
2. Yoga is another excellent exercise for a number of reasons. It relaxes tense muscles and helps oxygenate your entire body, which helps calm your mood. Not only that, it also teaches specific breathing techniques that can help ward off a panic attack. For example, diaphragmatic breathing exercises teach you how to regulate your breathing and breathe more deeply. They involve learning how to use your diaphragm muscles – those at the lower end of your ribcage – when you breathe, which helps reduce feelings of anxiety.
3. Then there’s something called ‘Rescue Remedy’. It’s helps in emergency situations when you can’t seem to calm yourself down. This is perfect stuff, you only need 2 sprays on your tongue and it calms you down instantly.
4. Fish oil rich in Omega-3 fatty acids also help, and so do herbal remedies like Bacopa Monnieri and Valerian.

Ive never experienced an actual panic attack but I have struggled with anxiety before. I adapted a Buddhist breathing technique called ‘tonglen’ to help me cope. Whenever I would start to feel my anxiety increase I would say to myself, "In comes the calm" as I inhaled, and would think, "Out goes the anxiety" as I exhaled. I found it helped me manage it. Hope you can find it useful too.
