A panic Attack is a horrible experience.They say they 90% of people who go into the emergency room, with chest pain thinking they Are having a heart attack is usually just a panic or an anxiety attack.Panic attack ks are brought on by the body releasing to much adrenaline, which is helps us in case a life or death situation,.Unfortunately it is triggered by to much caffeine, other stimulants, or obsessive thinking.Alot of times you can take your self out of a panic attack just by, calming down and taking slow, deep breaths, and taking your mind off of what ever it is that is upsetting you.Most people have a panic attack when there mind is racing a 100 miles per hour, and it over whelms them.Panic attacks are very very real and very scary.But if you just relax, and take deep slow breaths,and just remind yourself that, this is just a panic attack, and it will pass, if I just learn to relax.Meditating can help stop panic attacks,alot of the time.Most of the time people panic, because they obsessing or overreacting about a problem or situation that they cannot control.
If you have panic attacks avoid, Caffeine and stimulants right away.Also don't take Benedryl, it has also been linked to panic attacks when take with Caffeine.If your body produced to much adrenaline already, and your adding caffeine, that is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline.Most importantly don't self medicate with Xanax, or Clonopin, unless it is absolutely necessary, these drugs are very habit forming.Plus your body never learns to deal with the anxiety because your putting a band aide on the problem, not solving the problem.
You have to find out why you are having these panic attacks, and learn to emotionally strengthen yourself.Adrenaline is actually a good thing, you just got to learn to use it as a tool, and not let it put you into a panic.
Plus if you self medicate, when your out of medication, your body will have a panic attack from withdrawls, from the medication your taking.Because the body didnt learn to cope with the stress yuor putting it through.I heard Xanax withdrawls are like a living hell .The last thing you need when you have anxiety, is to have withdrawals from medication.Thats a road you dont want to go down, trust me.I have seen alot of people go down hil fast from abusing medications,as a crutch.
