Sometimes when a panic attack starts if I have someone to just chat me through it it will subside quickly

Hi i suffer from panic attacks as well.What helps me sometimes is doing breathing excercises.Take a deep breath and breathe through your nose and let your stomach expand like a balloon.Hold your breath and stomach for about 4 seconds and then slowly exhale through your mouth.Do this as many times as you like.You also can look at your favorite movie or a video of parrots cussing.If it isnt to late at night take a walk to get some air.If all else fails there is no shame in calling the paramedics.

Me too, I always text or call someone when I’m having a panic attack. Panic attacks feel so awful I know, I’ve had a ton of them. Feeling short of breath, dizzy, heart racing, tense it’s the worst feeling. You will be ok thought, the panic will ease up and your endorphins will kick in. Take a nap afterward or enjoy some hot tea, something to relax yourself. Holy Basil tea is an adaptogen it helps your body replenish from stress. I try and drink a cup at night. I hope you are feeling better.
