Learn To Stop Panic Attacks Even If You Don't Know Why They Are Happening

By Lance Verster

A panic attack may be a scary thing, particularly if you do not know what is causing it. If you knew the cause you could avoid it, but if the cause is unknown then it could be anything and that means that an anxiety attack could happen at any time. So here is how to stop panic attacks if the cause is unknown.

The first thing to know is that you are not alone. Anxiety panic attacks are not unusual. Lots of people suffer from them. Do not be totally embarrassed or self conscious about it, because this will only serve to make it worse. After you have had one panic attack, it may be the stress of worrying about having another one that actually triggers it to happen. It is therefore very important that you know how to stop panic attacks before you have another one.

First, take a deep breath and think about what may be causing you stress currently in your life. These are all things that could be causing panic attacks for you, and dealing with these issues can help make them go away. If you're having difficulty working through these problems by yourself, please do seek professional help and don't ignore them. Trained therapists specialize in panic attacks can help you work through them and stop them from happening again.

One of the best ways you can help alleviate panic attacks is to exercise. Exercise can release pent up tensions that can lead to a panic attack. Exercising can help you get rid of this pent up energy positively, which can thwart panic attacks. Exercising will make you feel tired, too, but proper food and rest afterward will make you feel better than before.

Staying with exercise as a means to cope with panic attacks can also help you get into shape and start feeling good. One of the reasons for this is that it releases "feel-good" hormones called endorphins. And because you feel good, you'll feel better about yourself and better able to handle panic attacks if they do happen. You will be more self-confident, and this alone can help stave off future panic attacks.

Besides exercise, make sure you find some time for rest and relaxation your day. Just listen to your body and hear what it has to tell you. It's true that you may have a million thoughts rattling around in your head, but if you can, ignore them for a few minutes and focus on you. It sounds simple, but it may be a difficult habit to get into. When's the last time you actually tried to?

Most importantly, quit worrying about having another panic attack if you've already had one. Having another may be beyond your control, and worrying about it is certainly going to make it worse if it does happen. - 30437
