Remedies For Panic Attacks

Here are some remedies you may try to cure your panic attack symptoms:

1. Progressive Muscle Relaxation

This is similar to meditation but is preferable for those who experience panic attacks. Often when having a panic attack its too difficult to focus or meditate. So instead using progressive muscle relaxation can work wonders for helping a person to relax.

How it works is by focusing your mind on each part of your body, then imaging that part of your body as a piece of concrete. You lie down on a bed or sit in a chair, then starting with your legs you imagine each part of your body as concrete. Then finally you imagine your whole body frozen as concrete.

This helps to relax the body and when the body is relaxed the mind is as well

2. Comedy

Going to see a comedy show or watching YouTube comedy videos can work wonders for helping a person to exit a state of panic and enter into a more relaxed state. It may not cure the panic attack but it will enable you to enter into a more rational and calm state - allowing you to tackle the source of the panic far more easily.

Use this to help you gain leverage and get to the next step to wrestling the anxiety under control.

3. Acting

Perhaps one of the most powerful ways to resolve a panic attack is to act as though you did not worry about whatever causes you to feel panic. Just like an actor in a play, spend 5 minutes acting as though you were completely fine with whatever was causing the panic attack. Your just acting, its like playing when you were a kid and pretended to be someone else. Just act the part of someone who does not have panic attacks and just pretend.

Indulge in this for 5 minutes and you will notice dramatic changes in your results.
