What do you do during a panic attack?

[covfefe_]

I used to have a few short heartache from last month and had a serious panic attack I never had in my life.
It felt like I'm having a heart attack. I'm about to collapse, faint. I poured down some water on my head. Took long breaths, tried to sleep but the panic didn't stopped. It came for about an hour where are ran frantically from here and there taking long breaths.
I don't have anything to be depressed about but just had such attack first time in my life.
It was scary and the only feeling I got was I don't want to die.
Do anybody have the similar attacks? What should I do if I had it next time?

I`ll do is we don`t need to panic all this need is calm so it can help us safe and good.

Smoke weed

Keep calm and buy crypto   But for real, just breathe through it and try to remember this too shall pass, sometimes people need to take medication because of chronic panic attacks.

Slap my face and tell myself that nothing good will come out of panicking. That's if i'm alone. If i'm with a group of people i try to pretend i'm not panicking and it helps that they think i'm composed because i tend to relax a little bit and get a hold of myself.

It's not a good think bro..

Having had some bad panic attacks I can give some advice.

-Try to avoid having constant stress for a longer period of time, I know this might not be easy/possible depending on your situation.
-Don't try to avoid every stressy situation or you'll become locked in your house and it'll get worse.
-I have a breathing routine that I start whenever I feel an attack coming up (read this http://www.anxietycoach.com/breathingexercise.html)
-I take prescribed betablockers when I have to do something very stressful, which helps tremendously. I dose very low to diminish side effects but takes the edge off.
-Eat healty, sleep enough (7+ hours, 5 hours is not enough for anyone no matter what you think), exercise properly at least twice a week. (more important than you'd think)

smoking


 take medication

[Indighost]

just keep your cool, close your eyes and control your breathing, imagine that everything is okay and take any negative thoughts out of your head

[amoredore]

When I get something's not similar to the panic attack, I try to get to a warm place, pr ferably ky bathroom, some place there are no people. And just concentrate on the present, feel the moment, and let the attack pass

When panic attacks I'll try to calm myself by drinking water and inhale,exhale then try not to think too much ot listen to the music.

[btsjimin]

When panic attack, I just pray because prayer is the most powerful shield in all the negative things in life.

Slow your breathing—inhale 5 seconds, exhale 5 seconds. Tell yourself that everything is fine, and the panic will pass.

take some xanax

take some xanax

The worst tip ever lol..

 And also don't smoke weed, it can make it worst. Anyways it does for me!

Take deep breaths it usually help a lot

[PetarPan]

I panic but I know it is good to have the ability to remain calm in a difficult situation..

[spongegar]

Personally i do feel them sometimes but i dont know why specifically. It doesn't have a reason why I'm panicking in the first place. When I'm i that state, i anchor myself. I think about a very familiar and safe place in my head, breath and close my eyes

[Maxre]

I suggest when there is panic do not follow your feelings or emotions.
keep thinking calm and do not easily get carried away.

Try to learn some different breathing exercises so that if attack comes back than you may bea able to control and slow down your breathing which in turn will help in slowing down your heart. In through the nose and out through the mouth...BREATH
