How to Stop Panic Attacks

Help, I’m having a panic attack!

If you are having a panic attack right now, try this:

1. Take a slow deep breathe in through your nose (count to 5 slowly in your head).
2. Don’t exhale – try to grab one more gulp of air with your mouth, and then hold your breathe for a slow 5 count
3. Exhale slowly
4. Repeat this a few times and concentrate on doing it without letting your mind run wild.

Your heart rate will start to slow and you will inevitably begin to calm down. This breathing method is called ‘cyclic sighing’, and it helps your nervous system into a parasympathetic state, which is what you feel when you’re calm and rested.

How to stop panic attacks from reoccurring?

The above technique, Cyclic Sighing, is one of many things I discuss in my free book “How I overcame Panic Disorder Without Drugs”. Why is it free? Because I suffered from Panic Attacks for years and I don’t want other people to go through that shit.

You don’t need to live in fear. You also don’t need to resign yourself to being drugged up on anti-anxiety medication for the rest of eternity. There are effective and natural ways to overcome panic attacks and panic disorder for good. I had such severe panic attacks that I literally had a nervous breakdown, but now I am completely free of panic attacks and 100% cured of panic disorder. I don’t want anyone to suffer from panic attacks like I did.

Panic Disorder

An ordinary panic attack only lasts a couple of minutes but it is terrifying enough that you will not want to experience it again. It is also common to develop a phobia of getting another panic attack which may ironically bring one on. This is one of the things that contributes to ‘Panic Disorder’, which is what happens when you get Panic Attacks happening frequently with no visible reason for them.

If you find you’re relating to most of the panic attack symptoms in the above checklists, then you’re likely suffering from a panic attack – as opposed to dying, which is probably what you thought, so that’s a good thing at least. Haha

If you suffer from panic attacks regularly, you would be diagnosed as having ‘panic disorder’ which is a common anxiety disorder. One I suffered from for years and eventually had a full on nervous breakdown. Don’t let it get to that point. Download my book. Read it. Start healing.
