Panic Attacks – Can You Cure Them Without 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. As you can imagine it could have resulted in a nasty end for us both. As soon as we knew we were safe and the initial shock had died down, shock for us both I might add. We made an appointment to see our doctor.
The doctor gave us the usual garbage about it being all in her head, no real danger, blah blah blah. We then got prescribed some beta blockers. I’m using the term “we” here as I felt as much part of it as my wife did. Beta blockers work by slowing the heart. By doing this a panic attack shouldn’t build as the heart can’t race out of control.
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 described it as worse than normal as she felt both out of control and calm at the same time.
Put The Drugs Where They Belong….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 decided we couldn’t carry on like this; her not being able to drive was now causing real problems. I did some in depth research on the web and we came across various techniques to try. Which we did with varying results. We never found anything that really worked for long.
We’ll Try Anything Once
We then happened across yet another “method” to supposedly stop them. As we had tried everything we found so far we tried this also. Initial results were ok. We knew any success was because of the method and not the drugs, which she wasn’t taking. The first time she drove she felt an attacked looming. However she quickly put the method into practice and got through the attack ok.
We had a chat later and she reported she definitely had an attack. But using the methods she was able to tone it down considerably. Just knowing she had been able to lower the intensity was a huge boost in itself. She was sure the next time she could stop it all together. She didn’t.
Little By Little
But she did manage to decrease it effect. Every time she had an attack she had the ability to lower the force of it. Pretty quickly she got to the stage where she can recognise the signs and stop it dead in its tracks.
If panic attacks are the bane of your life you can either do nothing, or see your doctor and try some form of medication. The former won’t help you and the latter may or may not help.
Or you can take the matter into your own hands and stop these panic attacks without drugs; the answer is here at this website…
