Panic attacks can happen anywhere anytime in any situation, they can be potentially disabling but are completely treatable. There are various approaches available today like medications, relaxation techniques and therapy that can cure panic attacks and help a person lead normal life again. Recovery time would depend largely on the severity and frequency of the panic attacks and response to the treatment.


The following remedies below would help to ease the condition at home level –

  • Learn to recognize the situations in which your panic attack worsens and make ways to cope up with the same instead of avoiding the situation.
  • When you actually get an attack, breathe slowly but remain active. Brisk walk to get the adrenaline under control.


  • Exercise done on regular basis would help to deal with the panic attacks in a better way.
  • Do something concrete like start counting backward from 100. This will help to divert your attention from fear and anxiety.

 

Consult a specialist who may prescribe some antidepressant medications which will help to improve the symptoms (eliminate in many cases) of panic attacks.
