Naturals: There is an aromatherapy inhaler by escents that relaxes and lowers blood pressure. It acts on the pain centers (amygdala) that control anxiety. Also a mixture of lemon juice, ginger, and honey can calm and relax.

Exposure therapy: There is a lot of validation for treatments that involve gradually increased exposure to the symptoms of panic coupled with relaxation training. Ssri meds are often prescribed for anxiety as well as for depression, but you can also learn how to manage, decrease, & sometimes completely eliminate the problem by working with a therapist who specializes in exposure-based therapy for panic.
