I have just set up a treatment for panic attacks lens on squidoo.
The content is going to be quite similar to my site and this blog. Feel free to drop by some time and share some of your experiences.
I spent almost 6 months searching for a panic attack treatment which works.. I know it sounds ridiculous, but everyone is different, and not everyone ersponds to the same form of treatment.
What really shocked me during my search for an effective treatment for panic attacks was the willingness of counsellors and doctors to prescribe medication. If you have read posts on this blog you probably gather I am quite anti-medication.. Why? Because I have experienced first hand the negative side effects of anxiety medication, and the fact medication will only hide the symptoms of anxiety, rather than getting to the root cause of the problem..
Anyhow, you can check out my full story HERE

I wrote this article to show you what options you have available - and to reassure you that you are not alone, and there is help at hand.

Wanted to talk a bit more about treatment for panic attacks - specifically why you should only use medication as a last resort. When I was first diagnosed with panic attacks by my therapist, the first suggestion was for me to take some anxiety medication - xanax. At the time I really did not have many other options, so I started taking it..
The problem was that I became highly dependent on the medication - its was as if the only way to keep my anxiety at bay was to take the medication.. At the end of the day you need to tackle panic and anxiety attacks from within. While there are some serious cases, where medication is most certainly required, you will most likley just become dependent on taking the medication to reduce your panic attacks, rather than treating the real cause.
Remember you are not alone, there are millions of people worldwide who suffer from panic attacks. Click HERE to discover the best treatment for panic attacks, which are completely free of medication
When looking for a treatment for anxiety attack or related symptoms, one really needs to ‘back track’ to find what has cause the levels of anxiety to be so severe as to trigger an anxiety attack or panic attack.
For me, what started out as mild anxiety over sleep anxiety transformed itself into full blown insomnia which was simply being fueled by intense anxiety and panic attacks. I needed to take myself ‘back to the start’ to when it all began as a problem, before I could begin looking for a treatment for anxiety attack.
What I realised was that the initial fear of sleeping was related to a complete lack of satisfaction with my job at the time. I was lying awake at night, cause I felt I had chosen the wrong career path. I then forgot that I was worried about my job, and became purely focussed on the fact I was not sleeping, which led to a cycle of insomnia. So having understood this a treatment for anxiety attack was easier to take in, and I could apply the techniques in a more effective way.
Here are some examples of common anxiety attack symptoms. These should give you an idea if what you are suffering is a genuine anxiety attack, or something else:
1. Raipd heart beat
2. Feeling Light Headed
3. Shaking - specifically hands
4. Tingling - Pins and needles in the face or arm
5. Inability to control breathing
6. Upset stomach
7. Fear of losing control
8. Heart Palpitations
9. Sweating and hot flushes
10. Feeling like you are trapped in the situation
The above symptoms will last for between 10 - 30 minutes normally. It is important to identify an anxiety symptom, as many sufferer’s will be convinced they are suffering from something more sinister.
Once you can identify the initial anxiety attack symptom, you will be able to try your calming and breathing techniques earlier. If you do this over time, you will find you will be able to completely head off your anxiety attack symptom ‘at the pass’.
I believe people who suffer from anxiety attacks and panic attacks are often to easily reccomended to take medication such as xanax. I know this, as this is the drug that was reccomended to me when I was susffering from acute insomnia.
While there are certainly certain situations which call for medication, the vast majority of anxiety attack call for an anxiety attack natural treatment. It is possible with persistence to overcome your anxiety disorder without the need for any form of medication. Xanax did not work from me, and that is what led me to the panic away program, which addressed many of the questions which were left unasnswered by my therapist.
I guess what I am trying to say is that its always worth pursuing anxiety attack natural treatments before considering medication as an option
