Panic attacks, how can I get rid of them???

Question

I've been having these panick attacks from April of this year!!! Untill the end of May they were attacks during which I had increased heartbeat, chest pains, breathed very fast and heavyly. Sometimes it got so bad I had to take a pill (Anaprilin) which regulated the heartbeat and the blood preasure (it would go up too during those attacks).

2 months ago it all disappeared untill about 3 weeks ago but now it doesn't get as bad, but still bothers me!!! I dont have the crazy fast heartbeat and the chest pains, but still i get this feeling of heavyness on my chest and breathe a little harder sometimes, and I get this aweful sense of fear that the attacks will start happening again. I havnt seen a doctor yet but a friend of mine who is neurologist said its psycological thing and I should have some sort of therapy!!! is there any type of medicine I could take to get rid of this horrible feeling??

What should I do?

Answer 1

If you are one of the three million Americans who have had multiple panic attacks, you should know that there are ways to control panic attack symptoms.  In order to control panic attack symptoms, you need to help prevent them in the first place.  Another option that some sufferers choose to help control panic attack symptoms is to actually face the fears.  Knowing that there are treatments out there though should help you can beat those fears and control panic attack symptoms.  In order to control panic attacks you will need to become aware of the way you breathe enough so you can begin to switch from chest breathing to diaphragmatic breathing.  The best way to control panic attack is to stop excessive worrying.

You say you haven't seen a doctor ..well..I think it's important that you have a medical check up to be sure that there are no health problems causing this.  Tell your doctor your symptoms.  If he or she finds no medical reasons for them then they may prescribe medication to help with  them.  Stress and unresolved conflicts can cause physical symptoms that are very real and frightening, called fight or flight, anxiety attacks which cause  people to experience some or all of these things,  sweating, clammy hands, heart palpitations, feeling light headed, nausea, headache, like they  are going to faint or die. Medications can help with some things, but not all. With anxiety I feel it's important to get to the root cause of it and seeing a counselor can help you work through that.  By working out problems, the anxiety attacks will disappear.
