Panic attack remedies do exist but I only know of one bonafide cure. That is the one I used, but I have a pretty unique story and I know how to cure panic attacks.
I had my first panic attack back in the 80's and it was a whopper. Like it goes for most people it seemed to just fall out of the blue. I didn't even know what a panic attack was, and, actually, I didn't learn what they were for quite a while.
The unusual part of my story is not that I had these attacks for six years. The unusual part is that I worked out a way of thinking that enabled me to get rid of these attacks altogether.
I've always had elevated anxiety. My doctor told me I was just "wired" that way and that I'd probably grow out of it. If he was around I'd tell him he was partially right.
What I did as I aged was get better at keeping my anxieties down.
But panic attacks are wholly different than anxieties in the normal or even elevated states. Anxiety attacks, as they are also known, are huge spikes of fear that cause an adrenaline surge which floods your mind with the "fight or flight response."
In this state the sufferer experiences a sudden rise in heart rate, sweating, red flush to the skin, and sometimes heart palpitations, dizziness and shortness of breath to name a few.
This is often accompanied by a feeling of unreality, like you are watching a bad movie with you in it, and it often gives you the fearful thought that you are "losing it."
That would be your mind you fear you are losing because, while there are "triggers" for these attacks there are rarely any real dangers or imminent disasters to be panicking in reaction to.
So the remedies I used to help get through panic attacks were my attempts to get rid of the attack or at least lower it to a livable level of panic, if that exists.
One of my best remedies was best used right at the start and couldn't be used in all situations. I would simply step outside and start running at a slow jog. It always worked for me in that usually the panic attack would abate and not come back right away. And if I ran long enough, the attack wouldn't come back that day.
I had another remedy I'd use that I called the "water method." When I was sort of "stuck" in a social situation when the attack came on, I'd excuse myself to the bathroom, go in there, turn on the water and listen to it's sound.
Then I would start rinsing my face and do that twenty or thirty times, and while noticing the cooling effect on my red and sweaty face, I'd think "I'm washing little pieces of the fear away and I'm cooling down. This is good." So simple, yet, for me it worked.
Not as good as the running, though.
Those were two of my coping methods but coping methods are only temporary. I needed a cure. I wanted those attacks to go away and remain gone.
And I did it by working out a way to let go of my fear of an imminent attack.
What I had discovered was that getting rid of the fear of panic attacks was the key to getting rid of the attacks themselves.
In fact that very idea has turned out to be one of the most successful cures for the attacks and it has worked wonders for many thousands of people.
