What do you do during a panic attack?

[beibi]

I will always, but always recommend calling 911, because having panic attack is a really serious thing and you will end up in hospital, so yeah. You can't calm down when you have panic attack, only meds can calm down. And I recommend to people to try to learn the difference between panic attack and anxiety attack. When you have panic attack you can't calm down yourself, and when you have anxiety attack you can help yourself.

The first thing you need to do in a fight with panic attack is to manage the panic state, not to remove it from the middle. If you are dealing with panic, you should continue to do it. This is the most important step in ignoring the panic attack.

Immediately call an ambulance if possible

Life is too short to worry about things and taking stress. Don’t panic.

Oh that fuc***ing bad thing. I have same problem time to time and honestly I don't know how to fight with it. Sometimes I am so aggressive without any reason. I think I will buy special medical herb to feel relaxed most of time

[Jeremy O`Brein]

Hi! I've experienced anxiety/panic attacks when i was in highschool mostly. Then random events thru college and until I was working. What helped me was I was assured that nothing was going to stop my body from breathing and chances of fainting is very very small. Sometimes other people like me panic more when they think that they are running out of breathe when actually YOU ARE OVER BREATHING. The sensation is the same and it's quite scary TBH.

So what I did/do (ofc, it varies from people to people):

- Condition my mind this is "just" a panic attack, nothing bad will happen
- Normalize my breathing, make sure I don't breathe to fast
- Think of something else or go to a different spot to tell my brain to relax (fight or flight)

Hope this helps!

Of course stay calm, don't overthink what's happening it can make you panic more so i suggest keep calm and drink water.

[selskoidima]

You shall think about different ways of solving and not to think of "what if i can't"

[SchiefelbeinBTC]

Not bothering about anything is the best way to avoid panic attacks.

[preceptus11]

I think smoking up will help to get rid of the panic attacks.

[RuthaRubenstein]

Take deep breathes, close eyes, have a small water to drink and keep in steady posture

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?

Inhale
Feeling shortness of breath and shortness are the main symptoms of panic attacks. However, these symptoms can get worse if we just take a short breath. Try to breathe the stomach. When the attack comes, take a deep breath, shake your shoulders, and focus on deep breathing and remove through the stomach. Place your hands on your stomach to feel it

[haihom]

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.

Talk to my self
Remind yourself that the panic attack will end and will not make you faint. Understanding faint physiology will help. Someone will faint when his blood pressure is low. When panic attacks, we may feel faint, but actually not because our blood pressure does not go down.
