Overcoming Panic Attacks
Hundreds of thousands of people suffer from panic attacks. In fact, one in every 75 people suffer from panic attacks, sometimes as a part of a larger problem known as panic disorder. The majority of sufferers are women. Notwithstanding the statistics, panic attacks are highly distressing episodes that can lead to harmful effects at work, home and in relationships.
However, there are ways to manage and even stop panic attacks. Sometimes it's necessary for medication to be prescribed, however other times simpler changes can provide relief. Here are some tips for overcoming panic attacks:
Exercise: This is another simple step you can take towards overcoming panic attacks. Regular exercise helps carry oxygen to every part of the body, regulates blood glucose levels, releases feel-good chemicals in the brain and provides an outlet for stress. Even a simple stroll around the block or through the mall three times a week can provide relief.
Eat Right: Believe it or not, what you eat on a daily basis can encourage or decrease panic attack triggers and symptoms. Sugar, highly processed foods, white flour, caffeine and alcohol are examples of foods that may make panic attacks worse. Then there are foods like lean meat, legumes, nuts, fruits, vegetables, and certain types of dairy that have been shown to encourage favorable effects when it comes to alleviating panic attacks.
Positive Thinking: One tip for overcoming panic attacks is to use cognitive behavior therapy. This method involves recognizing negative thoughts that lead to panic attacks, taking a step back, and replacing them with healthier, more proactive thoughts.
Meditation: While some people consider meditation an off the wall practice, studies have shown that time spent in mindful awareness can relieve stress and promote a feeling of well being. There are many different types of meditation, so you can likely find something that works for you.
These tips are only a few of the ways you can work towards overcoming panic attacks. To find out more about panic attacks, why you're having them, and how you can manage them effectively, speak to your doctor. He can apprise you of additional techniques you may be able to use to help eliminate the uncomfortable symptoms you're feeling.
