How to Stop a Panic Attack
Adrenaline floods the body during a panic attack,
causing a variety of physical, mental, and
emotional symptoms. We can show you how to calm
yourself or a loved one down and stop a panic
attack, which can be a frightening experience.
You can currently help yourself overcome panic
attacks by using the following strategies

1. Find a peaceful spot

• A panic attack can often be exacerbated by sights
  and sounds. Try to find a quieter spot if you
  can. This could mean moving to lean against a
  nearby wall or leaving a busy room.
•  
• It will be easier to concentrate on breathing and
  other coping mechanisms if you sit in a quiet
  location, which will also give you some mental
  space.

2. Take deep breaths
Breathing during a panic attack can be rapid, and
chest tightness can make the breaths shallow.
This kind of breathing can exacerbate
sentiments.   Instead, try to focus on each
breath while taking a slow, deep breath. While
counting to four on both the inhale and the
exhale take a deep breath from the abdomen and
slowly and steadily fill the lungs.

• People can also try the "relaxing breath," also
  known as 4-7-8 breathing. The person uses this
  method by inhaling for four seconds, holding
  their breath for seven seconds, and then slowly
  exhaling for eight seconds.
•  
• It's important to remember that deep breathing
  can exacerbate panic attacks for some people. In
  these instances, the individual may attempt to
  concentrate on engaging in a hobby.

3. Know that you got panic attack
As long as you are unaware that you are having a
panic attack, it is beneficial. When you realize
that you are having a panic attack, you can take
the necessary steps to control it. You need to
know that this time will pass for this reason.
Stopping a panic attack can be aided by
maintaining emotional stability, exercising
emotional control, and removing the fear that
something bad is about to happen to you.

4. Take any prescribed medications
A medication that can be taken as needed may be
prescribed by psychologist, depending on the
severity of the attacks. Most of the time, these
medicines work quickly.   A beta-blocker or
benzodiazepine can be found in some. A
beta-blocker like propranolol slows down a racing
heart and lowers blood pressure.   Valium and
Xanax are two examples of benzodiazepines that
are frequently prescribed by doctors for panic
attacks.

However, people should only take these
medications as prescribed by their psychologist
or doctor because they can be highly addictive.
When taken with alcohol or opioids, they can have
potentially fatal side effects.   Selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors, which can assist
in preventing panic attacks in the first place,
may also be described by a physician.

  attack, inquire about what helped them get
  through it.

  should see a psychologist right away.

  public spaces), or substance abuse may result
  from multiple panic attacks. See a doctor if
  you've had multiple attacks. They can be stopped
  a lot with treatment.

  therapy, hypnotherapy, and medication. Try to be
