Today we’re going to talk about how to stop a panic attack. A panic attack is severe anxiety. Many times during a panic attack, people feel a lot of fear, and they may also feel like they can’t breathe.


During a panic attack, the adrenal glands are involved. These are stress glands. Also, in your brain, you have something called the amygdala. The amygdala is similar to the adrenals because it’s also involved in the fight or flight mechanism. It has been found that when the amygdala is removed, a person loses all fear. The amygdala is involved in fear. Fear is a survival mechanism. 


How to help stop a panic attack:


1. Slow down your breathing 

Breathe in for 4-5 seconds and then breathe out for 4-5 seconds.


2. Take long walks

Take about a 40-60 minute walk every day. Get out in nature, get space, and get oxygen. 


3. Stop watching the news 

You don’t need the negativity. 


4. Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1 is necessary to help counter stress. Refined carbs deplete vitamin B1. People that have panic attacks or anxiety attacks are typically on a high-carb diet. 


5. Acupressure 

Acupressure may really help pull someone out of a panic attack fast.


6. Adaptogens 

These are herbs that help people adapt to stress. They can help calm the sympathetic nervous system, lower cortisol, and regulate stress.
