The main thing anyone who endures this condition want to know is how to stop a panic attack. Well it’s actually quite simple and this technique can be used to actually eliminate panic attacks all together.
In order to successfully eliminate panic attacks you must first arm yourself with the proper knowledge. Understanding why panic attacks happen is the first step in the process. So here we go: Panic attacks are your body’s natural response to a stressful situation or a perceived threat. Once your mind perceives danger it automatically sends a signal to your nervous system to allow your body to get ready to defend itself.
Your heart will start to pound faster making sure you have enough oxygen. Your eyes will dilate letting in more light. Your palms will begin to sweat, and you will become ultra aware of everything around you. Also, your muscles will tense up and start to cause you aches and pains. The unfortunate thing about this is that if there is no real danger, your mind will start rapidly searching for a threat or a reason why you are experiencing these sensations and it will start to look internally.
All of these reactions become very confusing for you to deal with all at once. Your mind will start to think “why is this happening to me?” Most people will conclude that something serious is wrong with them like they are going to have a heart attach, or they have some strange disease that isn’t curable and they are going to die. This ends up starting a cycle that is nearly impossible to break without the right treatment, so most people find themselves in the hospital or start using some other “at home” technique to end the cycle.
A lot of people resort to drinking alcohol because it’s the easiest to obtain and gives almost instant gratification. The trouble with this approach is that drinking will actually dehydrate you and give you a hangover. Dehydration is major cause of anxiety and panic, also, hangovers tend to give people the jitters which will send you into the panic cycle.
Another technique people try is to medicate themselves. While this may work for period of time, the side effects of most of these medications makes you have no emotion at all or you become completely numbed to a point where you don’t feel anything. The problem with this approach is that you are not fixing the root cause of the problem and you will always have to use this medication to not have a panic attack.
There is a much simpler method to dealing with this problem that doctors and drug companies don’t want you to know about. In fact, if everyone knew how easy this was they wouldn’t be selling anymore medication to panic and anxiety sufferers. So here we go, when you are experiencing a panic attack your natural reaction is to fight it with everything you have. What this does it actually make your anxiety level higher and causes your panic to become more intense.
The only way to beat a panic attack is to cut it’s legs out from underneath it. You must first realize that you are not going to die. No one has ever died from a panic attack, your body is perfectly built to handle these. So don’t fight the attack, but go with it. I know this sounds weird, but by letting go and not fighting the attack you are taking it’s power away and giving it back to you.
Another point I want to bring up is that most people actually pay money to have the same experience as a panic attack and don’t even know they are doing it. Case and point, amusement parks. People will actually have the exact same panic experience on a roller coaster, but because they know it’s going to end, it doesn’t continue in a cycle. It simply stops when the roller coaster is over.
You must make this realization in order to overcome panic attacks: The symptoms of a panic attack are not going to kill you. In fact, they are there to protect you and get you ready to defend yourself against outside threats. If you find yourself in a situation where you are experiencing panic, just go with it, do not fight it, and realize that the roller coaster will soon be over. This will take some getting used to, but once you do, panic will be a thing of the past.
