How to Stop a Panic Attack in just 5 minutes…

When Panic Hits…

Panic Attack Symptoms Hyperventilation Dizziness Light Headiness Heart Palpitations Chest Pains Dry Mouth Clammy Hands Numbness of the extremities Uncontrollable fear Difficulty Swallowing Tremors Sweating Weakness Fatigue

Step 1: Recognize the Attack Know that it IS a panic attack and people don't die from panic attacks. It's that simple. Believe it. The utmost belief of this fact is where the power lies. It may take you a minute or two to convince yourself. However, if it's not your first Panic Attack, then you should be confident in identifying what's happening to your body and mind. Once you recognize the attack, you can use proven techniques to end it as quickly as possible.

Step 2: Breath and Count Ignore everything around you. Nothing else matters. Get through this. That's ALL that matters. After you've recognized the attack, begin to count in your head. Count 1,2,3,4 -- 1,2,3,4 -- 1,2,3,4 pausing on the dashes and so on. You're going to breathe the numbers. Take a deep breath in through your nose for the 1 and 2. Then take a deep breath out through your mouth for the 3 and 4. Practice, Practice, Practice

Important If you are truly hyperventilating out of control when the Panic Attack hits, breathing into a paper bag will help you get to the point where you can begin this exercise. Once you have regained some control of your breathing, remove the paper bag and begin the Counting Technique.

Why Breathing is Crucial When you go into these breathing exercises you immediately shift your brain's focus from fear to action. Panic Attack symptoms occur as a chain reaction to the offset of breathing that happens in the body. Do NOT overlook your breathing. It is an absolutely essential tool.

Step 3: Finding the Root Cause Contact a therapist or doctor shortly after. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not telling you to commit yourself to years of therapy for one panic attack. Panic Attacks don't happen without reason. Something triggered the attack. It could be stress at work. It could be stress in a relationship. It could be a General Anxiety Disorder. Whatever the cause is...don't ignore it. Find a therapist or doctor you are comfortable with and begin exploring why the attack occurred.
