The Panic Attack Treatment Without Medication

Psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional freedom techniques are great means of eliminating panic attacks, finding the main cause of panic disorder and desensitizing yourself from panic attack triggers. But if you would like to prevent a panic attack from occurring or to control it, there is a simple trick, it is by learning how to take a proper breathe.

The symptoms of panic attack are namely nausea, trembling, faintness, dizziness, chest pain and even sweaty palms, that can be mistaken sometimes as a heart attack, are the direct effect of respiration. Respiration is a process of breathing quickly and shallowly through the mouth. it contributes to excess intake of oxygen, the awful signs of a panic attack. If you observe that when you breathe through the nose, it becomes physically impossible to respirate, below is how to stop it.

1. As soon as you observe some feelings of panic rising, the first thing to do is to close your mouth and breathe through the nose. I have observe someone breathing into a paper bag, this essentially is the same thing, it reduces your oxygen intake.

2. When you have panic disorders, attempt to breath in gently through the nose, maintain that breathing for 10 seconds, then breathe out gently through your nose. Remember to close your mouth at this times.

3. The next thing is to breathe in for 3 seconds through your nose, then breathe out for 3 seconds through your nose. You can repeat this for one minute, breathe in for 3 seconds, out for 3 seconds through the nose.

4. Breathe in gently right away through your nose and keep it as long as you can, may be for 10 seconds. And then breathe out through your nose. Do this again until it reduces the panic if it persists.
