Signs of a Panic Attack
PANIC ATTACKS – If you suffer or have ever suffered from panic attacks then you know how life threatening they feel.
A panic attack allows your body to release the adrenalin stored up through too much anxiety.
The best solution if you feel a panic attack coming on is slow and deep breathing as it works with your body’s sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
#1 tip – breathing
This works with your bodies nervous system to send a calming signal to the amygdala in the brain:
- Allow your lungs to empty
- then breathe deeply into your stomach while counting to 7.
- Once you reach 7, breathe out gently to the count of 11, so that the out breath is much longer.
- Repeat this for 2 to 3 minutes or until you feel calm and relaxed.
