Best Way for Stopping Panic Attack Symptoms
March 12, 2010

It takes some work to stop a panic attack. The two most important elements of preventing a panic attack include time and willpower, and getting the right help is also important.

Panic attacks are perhaps one of the most frightening experiences a person can go through. Stopping panic attack symptoms are unfortunately, a somewhat difficult thing to do. The main reason a person goes into a panic is because the body's triggering of certain chemicals. This fight or flight response once started, usually just needs time to complete its cycle.

Fortunately it is not impossible to stop a panic attack, it just takes some work. Stopping panic attack symptoms involve some willpower on the part of the panic sufferer, and overtime any chronic sufferer will learn this important lesson. Time and willpower, that is the key to stopping panic attack symptoms.

Mentality is Key

When a panic attack begins it is best to not, well, panic. It may sound like an odd statement, but increased instability during an attack can just heighten the effect of the attack. One of the most important things a panic attack sufferer can remember is that the reason for the attack is all in their head. Once the reason for panicking disappears, so to will the body's reason for maintaining the panic response. So stopping panic attack symptoms is partly an effort in mentally training yourself to realize this important fact.

During a panic attack, besides trying not to increase the cause of the panic, it is best that a person learns to properly relax their body. Breathing techniques usually learned through cognitive behavioral therapy, can be a huge help to any victim of panic attacks. By calming your body and easing your breathing, the effect of the chemical imbalance being caused by the body can be reduced.

It's Alright to Get Help

Do not exclude the possibility of outside help. While most people will claim the importance of independently controlling your panics, it doesn't mean it is a bad thing to seek help during a panic. Sometimes just talking to someone you trust, a spouse, therapists, etc, can be all that is needed to stopping panic attack symptoms. Most attacks are caused by unwanted stressors, usually an event or problem that the victim has been concerned with.

Now in some cases especially when dealing with extreme panic attacks, medication may be needed. Medicines like Xanax are specifically made for reacting quickly to a panic attack, usually being able to halt an attack mid-panic. However, such medications must be prescribed, and the side effects can sometimes be drastic in some people.
