Short answer: Dr. Ali answered correctly, but some patients find it more helpful to go to individual or group counseling that focuses on these methods rather than doing it on their own.

A good book: Try reading and following the recommendations in the book: the relaxation response by herbert benson. Good luck.

Panic attacks: Talking therapy ranks really high. Cognitive Behavioral therapy or psychotherapy can be effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, Qi Gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises & meditation. Don't isolate - spend time w friends & stay active.
