Anxiety and Panic Attacks Tips
guestblogger
Panic attacks may not exactly be dangerous but to afflicted individuals who experience them regularly, going about daily tasks can be taxing, in worst case scenarios, nearly impossible. According to Panic Away by Joe Barry, those who have suffered from a panic attack or an anxiety attack can expect higher chances of experiencing the symptoms again because the fear of the occurrence ever happening again triggers an actual one.
A traumatic experience usually sets off a panic attack in individuals. Symptoms of the disorder include palpitations, shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, tension, muscle weakness, fatigue, chest pain, stomach aches, headaches, shaking or trembling, faintness, hot flushes, extreme sensitivity to all 5 senses, a sense of impending doom and the need to “fight or flight”. The more prepared you are for the next panic attack, the less it will happen because knowledge eventually leads to less fear of a panic attack’s occurrence. In addition, this knowledge can certainly and considerably reduce the length of a panic attack episode too.
One of the simple ways you can use to combat an anxiety attack or a panic attack includes breathing in and out a paper bag to regulate your breathing. If a paper bag is not available, you can use your hand instead. Just cup it over your mouth and nose and then breathe. Linden Method by Charles Linden and Panic Puzzle by Rich Presta carries reliable strategies and tips that will help you cope with panic attack symptoms. Apart from that, it also has treatment options for the disorder.
Another coping strategy you can is to lower your gaze while experiencing a panic attack. Looking around is strongly discouraged because it will only aggravate your senses that are already in hyper-drive. Distraction is also an effective way to deal with panic attacks. Distraction methods you can employ include counting down from 100 to 00 as fast as you can, splashing cold water on your face, listening to music and singing out loud along with it, or watching a funny TV show and laughing to it.
Important factors you need to keep your eye on too in order to be able to effectively deal with (and even completely eliminate) panic attacks include proper food consumption, a healthy lifestyle and the right amount of sleep.
