Panic Attacks - Can They Be Stopped Without Taking Drugs?

Panic attacks, which incidentally are much the same as anxiety attack, will come quickly, and with a vengeance. They usually hit you at the worst possible moment. If you are a sufferer I’m sure you would give anything to stop them dead. Your wish could be granted.

First & Worst Attack

My wife was hit with a very severe panic attack while she was driving the car. This could have been a disaster if she had crashed, or crashed into someone. After she, and me to be honest, got over the shock we did what everybody does. Went to see our doctor.

We got a standard lesson on the facts. Nothing to worry about, never in any real danger etc etc. Then we got a prescription for beta blockers. I mention “we” got prescribed beta blockers as I really felt I was involved as much as my wife in all this. The drugs would (he promised) stop her heart from racing at the onset of an attack, thus stopping the attack. All good in theory.

We went for a drive and at the exact same location she felt an attack coming. The upshot was, she had a full blown panic attack. Albeit without the racing heart rate. She said this was worse than before. Full blown panic yet her heart never even got into second gear.

Stick The Drugs In The Trash

I drove us home and we threw the drugs into the trash. A full 9 months went by and she never drove the car once. She never had a panic attack either, which was a mixed blessing.

We couldn’t let this situation go on. Her not being able to drive for fear of having an attack at the wheel. I constantly searched the internet for help and advice, and to be honest, hopefully a magic cure. We never found anything that really worked for long.

We Tried ‘Em All

I came across yet another “system” that claimed to be a magic bullet. We thought we may as well give it a go. We knew any success wasn’t down to drugs as she wasn’t taking them anymore. Fingers crossed it was looking good. The first attempt at driving and she got the overwhelming senses of an attack coming. She put the system into gear and managed to come out unscathed. So far so good.

When we talked after, she said she still had an attack but she managed to keep it at bay. She knew she had managed to lessen its effects herself. And this was a big confidence booster. She now felt the power within herself to stop the next attack dead. She didn’t quite manage this.

Easy Does It

Although not stopping it fully, she did low the intensity again. She did this every time it happened. She made it less and less every time. In less than a month she was able to know when an attack loomed. And more importantly stop it completely.

If you feel overwhelmed by these sudden attacks you have the choice to do nothing, or seek medical help in the form of drugs from your doctor. Which may or may not work? Good luck.
