Panic overtakes a person completely unexpectedly. Starting like a bolt from the blue, it manifests itself in various symptoms: dizziness, difficulty breathing, weakness, sweat, shaking hands, pallor, disorientation, anxiety and a terrible fear of death. A seizure occurs at home, in a store, or on the way to work and ends after a few seconds, leaving you devastated. Repetitive seizures can turn into serious illness. What can you do to never find yourself in such a situation again?
Instructions
Step 1
Take the first manifestations of panic seriously: a sudden unfounded fear that grips a person can become his constant companion, leading to depression and suicide. If this problem is not immediately addressed, the disorder can become chronic.
Step 2
As soon as you feel that you are experiencing a panic attack, start breathing deeply, while convincing yourself that there is no cause for concern, that your fear will soon pass. Try to distract yourself by singing, talking with a friend, or any physical activity.
Step 3
Panic attacks are treatable, so be sure to consult a specialist. It is necessary to figure out what leads to such disruptions: a side effect of drugs or a malfunction of the thyroid gland, complications after anesthesia, or something else. Drug treatment and psychotherapy give a positive effect even in very serious cases.
Step 4
Learn to manage your reactions. Identify the causes of stress and try to respond to them differently. Sign up for yoga classes, learn deep breathing and relaxation. Engage in any kind of physical activity. Drink less alcohol, tea and coffee.
Step 5
Observe your diet and sleep patterns. Take B vitamins to strengthen the nervous system.
