Can You Cure Panic Attacks?

Can you cure panic attacks? That's what people who suffer from anxiety attacks want to know.

The Truth about Panic Attacks

Panic attacks can be the start of a vicious cycle of events in your body. You begin by feeling scared or stressed, then your body reacts, causing a flood of panic attack symptoms to occur. And while these panic symptoms tend to peak at ten minutes, they prime your body for more panic attacks. Since you now know what the attack might feel like, you might begin to worry that this attack is going to happen again and again. This brings up a good question then. If your body is more likely to have another panic attack because you're worried about a panic attack, does this mean they can not be cured?

Controlling Panic Before and During an Attack

Finding out the causes of panic attacks is the best way to stop a panic attack before it begins. You will want to make sure that you are doing all that you can to stop your body from going into the fight or flight mode. You might take steps, for example, to reduce the stress in your life. This might mean that you lighten your workload or that you might find stress-reducing activities to enjoy. By reducing the overall stress in your life, you can reduce the chances of a panic attack.

You can also cut out things in your life which might be making your body more agitated. For some, this means they need to remove caffeine and sugar from their diet, helping their bodies be in a calmer state. You might also want to look into cleaning up your diet in order to make it more natural and chemical free, as some preservatives and other chemicals in processed foods might be causing your anxiety.

During an attack, it can help to have some coping exercises to help soothe your body. Having a manta which you repeat to yourself is helpful - for example, using, "This attack will not last forever. I am in control and all is well," can help you to keep your mind calm. You might also want to distract yourself with another activity as this can help you to remain calm as the adrenaline works its way through your body. You might also want to talk to someone else in order to help keep your mind calm.

A therapist or a doctor might prescribe a panic attack medication if the panic attacks can not be controlled with cognitive behavioral approaches. These should be used sparingly and if it seems that medication is the only way to soothe an attack, it might be time to consider a daily medication as well.
