Panic Attacks Support Group

its better to float thru the anxiety than to tense up and fight back, you need to read some self help books on overcoming panic disorder or agoraphobia

for dizzyness you need to learn new ways of relaxing and calming yourself, deep slow breathing is a good start

I have this happen alot,i sit down,close my eyes,and breath real slow

This happens to me now Ijust try to sit down and breath thru it but sometimes it happens if I move to fast like jumping out of bed.

I learned that the dizziness is caused from hyperventilating. You feel like you're not getting enough air so you start breathing shallowly, grasping for air. You actually bring too much oxygen into your head which makes you feel giddy, nervous, and lightheaded. Focus on your breathing and despite the suffocating sensation, remember that you are getting enough air. Try focusing on your breathing and keep it steady. Hope this helped.

Thanks for the advise. I really have a hard time with my breathing during panic attacks. I know its just something I'll have to keep working at.

I get that too. I don't breathe well either. I get shallow, more quick breaths. One things I've realized lately, is that I randomly hold my breath for a few seconds without even knowing it.

i have to make myself take long long breaths...especially if my kids are on my last nerve
