breathing in to a paper bag is supposed to help control breathing again

oh my yes! my wife gets them and she used to get them often,but she takes cymbalta and it has slowed them down alot.if your not into meds,ive seen her just breathe thru them,deep breaths. also,get away from where or what gave u the panic attack-call someone,it usually will help settle her down talking about any-else. i dont recommend major anxiety pills like xanax if u dont have them like everyday-because it will leave u really loopy and hard to function. cymbalta or zoloft is the easiest route med wise.

i used to have panic attacks…
they are usually slightly genetic.
they are caused by stress. eliminate stress by going to the gym, cardio workouts some sports…and have some alone time.
Eating healthy food helps. avoid difficult situations. just relax, and it WILL go away.
if its from work, either cool it down a little or quit, because honestly..stress kills.

Do NOT use or get anyone to breath in and out of a paper bag!!! If your treating someone get them to calm down. Demonstrate how they should breath (deep breaths in and out at normal respiration rate). Move the person or remove the reason for the panic attack if possible. Crowds of people dont help!!

Well, you could ask your GP if they could prescribe you some medication like diazepam to try and help you relax more, but personally I think medication should really always be a last option for things like this, as they all come with side effects like drowsiness that can be hard to tolerate. Panic attacks are sometimes the result of underlying stress and anxiety and it may be that you have to work to reduce the long term stressors in your life before the panic attacks disappear completely. If you are lucky your GP might have access to some primary mental health services that could offer you something like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which will help to reduce the likelihood of a panic attack occouring and help you better control them when it happens. It is also worth being aware that some things like coffee which increase the heart rate can help trigger a panic attack, so it is worth keeping a mental record of any possible triggers like this and avoiding them.
Also, be aware that the problem with panic attacks is that people often mistakenly believe that they are dangerous and / or that they are having a heart attack. The problem is that these thoughts tend to heighten the problem, as the second you think your life is in danger you get even more tense, which makes your heart rate go up even more, which can make you even more convinced that something is seriously wrong, and heighten your heart rate even more, etc, etc, and thus the whole thing can spiral into a vicious cycle. Remember that it is physically impossible to come to physical harm from a panic attack alone, and don’t let yourself fall into this vicious cycle. Instead, when it happens it is worth saying to yourself something along the lines of ‘this is a panic attack, and I know it will pass shortly and that I will be fine as it’s happened to me before, and I always have been fine’. This will help reduce the anxiety and hopefully shorten the attack duration overall.
Hope that helps.

They usually last for hours writhing and hyperventilating.
