Worried that you may have gotten a panic attack? I know you are worried but try to relax. Panic attacks are scary but they are NOT dangerous. I repeat they are NOT dangerous, remember that.

Fearful that you’re going to go crazy or are about to die

If you are suffering from any of the signs/symptoms above you could be having a panic attack!

If you found yourself in a panic attack there are some quick temporary solutions

Take deep long breaths

This lowers your heart rate and relaxes your body. Think of breathing like the waves of the ocean. The waves of the ocean are constant. Think of a wave that rises when you breath in. When you breath out it fades. Hear the waves, see them rise and fade slowly. Feel the calmness”

Think of the word “calm”

The brain can only think of one thing at a time. If you think of the word calm you block the brain from doing any other thinking. So think of calm and picture yourself being calm. Repeat the following sentence to yourself: I am calm, i feel calm.

Cover your right eye and your right nostril

This is a yoga technique and are over 5000 years old. The right side of the body are connected with the left side of the brain. The left side of the brain is the biggest cause for panic attack. If you cover the right side eye and nostril you slows down the left side. As an effect you use your right brain side more and this side is very relaxing.. You become very relaxed. Combine this exercise with the 2 above and do this until you feel better.

Breathing Difficulties? Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Breathing Difficulties? Anxiety & Panic Attacks

By Joanne King

“When I hit a bad time with my anxiety I get a very tight chest and my breathing all goes to pot. My breathing is then all I can think about and it starts to make me dizzy as I know I am breathing wrong.”

It was actually these symptoms that pushed me over the edge and lead me to experiment and finally seek a way out of my anxiety & panic disorder.

A test you can perform on yourself to see if you are breathing correctly is:

Place your hand across your tummy. If you feel your hand rise on inhale and your hand fall on exhale then you are breathing correctly. If you feel little to no movement at all then you are breathing in correctly.

If you own a copy of “How to Overcome Anxiety & Panic Attacks” then refer to chapter 8 – Breathing Techniques – As this is where I go into detail and show a proper breathing exercise specifically for anxiety & panic sufferers.

Another nifty little trick you can try to put it at ease and hopefully stop it before it gets to the extent of dizzy spells is:

Place your hand across your nose and mouth and concentrate on the breath you feel against the palm of your hand. This will reassure you that you are definitely still breathing and will help prevent you from hyperventilating so you can get back into a normal breathing pattern again.
