I would tell you the remedies I used in my 20's, but I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. Self medication isn't the way to go.


Have you tried changing your diet to foods that are low in calories and that slow your metabolism? Anxiety and panic attacks speed up your heart rate. Finding ways to keep a slow beat should help some.


I overcame mine, but it took years. I finally realized that the world and the people in it really weren't that imposing, and there was nothing to be nervous, anxious or scared about. Like that line in the old Jackson Browne song : "I look around for the friends I used to turn to to get me through........... .looking into their eyes, I see them running too."


We're all running scared and running on empty. Some people just hide it better than others.

Each of us is different in how we perceive things and how we cope, so what I did may not work for you. First of all you need to accept there is no quick fix and that even when you over come it, there can be triggers and relapses. i am just being honest and realistic. I changed my mind set and stopped trying to please people or feel guilty for things I hadn't done yet, I was kind to myself and stopped trying too hard. The media doesn't help by portraying people who do so much in a day and it can make you anxious and feel you aren't doing enough.


Having a day off and doing what you want guilt free can be hard, but once you can do that (or a morning, or afternoon) then you are able to see things won't collapse if they aren't done straight away. Medication can help, but to deal with it you need to confront the issues that trigger it and changing how you see things is one of them. Do things for yourself at your pace and not what others expect of you or what you think they will think.

You need to understand what you have and you need to accept it. After that, it's much easier to overcame the problems that come with the condition. Make sure to not overthink about it, and talk to people who you trust about your problems, they'll help you a lot.

There are many remedies that can help us to overcome panic attacks. But remedies don't work for everybody. Then again, some remedies work for some while not for others. I do breathing exercises which seem to help me. I also do grounding techniques as I have PTSD.
