Panic attacks are one of the symptoms of anxiety disorders. A sudden wave of oversweeping panic, rapid heart-rate, dizziness, sweating, difficulty in breathing, a feeling of loss of control are among the chief indicators.
Panic attacks can affect people irrespective of gender and age. Here are some remedies for the same:
When you are facing a panic attack, the first and most important thing is to calm down. Take slow, deep breaths as this will not only help you calm down but also slow down heart-rate.
During a panic attack, there's an increase in adrenaline levels in the body. Drink ice water, this will also help cooling down one's body from within. Gently massaging the neck and throat is recommended as these areas of the body tend to get quite tense during a panic attack.
Learning to divert one's attention from the current situation, might not be that easy but is quite an effective way of treating a panic attack. Sniffing aromatic oils or listening to soothing music is another way to deal with a panic attack.
