Panic attacks are too often and it happens because of the stress.

Relax
It may be easy to say relaxed words, but when panic attacks come, some parts of the body just feel stiff. Breathe deeply and slowly while touching parts of the body that you know will definitely respond immediately, for example the shoulder.

Keep calm and buy crypto Cheesy  But for real, just breathe through it and try to remember this too shall pass, sometimes people need to take medication because of chronic panic attacks.

Talk to my self
Remind yourself that the panic attack will end and will not make you faint. Understanding faint physiology will help. Someone will faint when his blood pressure is low. When panic attacks, we may feel faint, but actually not because our blood pressure does not go down.

I used to have a few short heartache from last month and had a serious panic attack I never had in my life.
It felt like I'm having a heart attack. I'm about to collapse, faint. I poured down some water on my head. Took long breaths, tried to sleep but the panic didn't stopped. It came for about an hour where are ran frantically from here and there taking long breaths.
I don't have anything to be depressed about but just had such attack first time in my life.
It was scary and the only feeling I got was I don't want to die.
Do anybody have the similar attacks? What should I do if I had it next time?

Inhale
Feeling shortness of breath and shortness are the main symptoms of panic attacks. However, these symptoms can get worse if we just take a short breath. Try to breathe the stomach. When the attack comes, take a deep breath, shake your shoulders, and focus on deep breathing and remove through the stomach. Place your hands on your stomach to feel it

Hi! I've experienced anxiety/panic attacks when i was in highschool mostly. Then random events thru college and until I was working. What helped me was I was assured that nothing was going to stop my body from breathing and chances of fainting is very very small. Sometimes other people like me panic more when they think that they are running out of breathe when actually YOU ARE OVER BREATHING. The sensation is the same and it's quite scary TBH.

So what I did/do (ofc, it varies from people to people):

- Condition my mind this is "just" a panic attack, nothing bad will happen
- Normalize my breathing, make sure I don't breathe to fast
- Think of something else or go to a different spot to tell my brain to relax (fight or flight)

Hope this helps!
