A member asked:
Do breathing exercises aid with panic attacks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Panic attacks: Often involve over-breathing or hyperventilation. Slow, abdominal breathing can be helpful to manage an attack. It's best to practice breathing and other relaxation techniques when you are not having a panic attack, just as it's best to learn to swim before you fall out of a boat.
