I have experienced panic attacks every day for the past 2 years. In desperation I visited my doctor who prescribed Xanax. However, I’m very reluctant to take the medication because I would prefer a natural way of treating the panic attacks. I decided to ask friends and family members what panic attacks treatment works for them when they are feeling anxious as I am willing to give anything a try! I thought I would share the ideas I received with you.
One suggestion was to try drinking camomile tea as it is considered to be very calming. Also suggested was fish oil vitamins and vitamin B complex. Also to try taking St John’s Wort and Melatonin.
I also looked on internet forums to ask some panic attack sufferers for advice. A couple of people suggested breathing into a paper bag as an effective short-term treatment for overcoming panic attacks. However, reading more about this I discovered that this treatment has also been criticised for not being effective and even potentially increasing the severity of the panic attack. This is because this method can lower oxygen levels and increase carbon dioxide in the blood – which is thought to bring a panic attack on.
Cognitive behaviour therapy was suggested to stop panic attacks. In this kind of treatment for panic attacks the person’s mind is ‘retrained’ to think about their panic attacks differently. Counseling was a suggestion to try and find the root cause and problem of the panic attacks.
So I have many things to try now, I’m sure one of them will work and I won’t have to take the medications prescribed. Hope you have found them of some help.
