How To Overcome A Panic Attack
By Winston Takeda
Many people get horrible panic attacks. They seem to come out of nowhere. You are standing there minding your own business, and then all of a sudden you feel enclosed, like the whole world is crashing in on you. You can’t breath, your chest feels tight, your heart starts pounding like it’s about to explode, and you don’t know what’s happening. These can be absolutely terrifying to say the least. However, there are some steps you can take to get rid of them once they come. And once you know what these are, you won’t need to worry anymore.
The first thing to do is to close your eyes and breath. When your heart is racing and your skin is cold and clammy, forcing yourself to relax is the last thing on your mind. But if you can remember this, it will help quite a bit. Just force yourself to sit down, close your eyes, and take slow, deep breaths. It might feel like the hardest thing in the world, but it will help.
When you are breathing fast and shallow, you aren’t getting that much oxygen into your bloodstream. So lean forward and put your head between your legs. If you do this while you are breathing deeply, it will help more blood to flow to your brain, and you’ll be less likely to get light headed. Once you start getting light headed, it’s very hard to concentrate. As soon as you feel a panic attack coming on, sit down, breath deeply, and put your head between your legs.
Of course, if you keep getting panic attacks and you don’t know why, see your doctor as soon as you can. Before you go in, make sure to write down all the symptoms that keep coming. Be as specific as possible, so your doctor can help diagnose your problem. The problem with these is that you never know when they come, so you are almost never experiencing them when you visit the doctor. If you just give a vague description of what’s happening, your doctor won’t be able to help much.
Sometimes low blood sugar can trigger a panic attack. Try to avoid eating too many carbohydrates, because this can cause your blood sugar to bounce all over the place. If you feel a sudden drop in blood sugar, this can make you feel weak and light headed, which can trigger an attack. A good defense against this is to always carry around a candy bar or a box of juice. Just knowing you have it can help.
Of course, there are many root causes of panic attacks, and until you feel you have a complete handle on them, it’s best to follow your doctors advice. But when they come, just sit down, force yourself to relax, breath deeply and slowly, and close your eyes. This should help you to survive your next attack.
