A member asked:

Can there be any way of curing panic attacks without seeing a doctor?

Cure panic: Many people with panic attacks get a great deal of help from cognitive behavioral therapy, provided by clinical psychologists. Cbt has been shown to be as effective as medications used for reducing panic attacks. It is important to check with your doctor since conditions such as hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia can provoke panic attacks.

There are some very: good self-help books that will teach you how to prevent & abort panic attacks. 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.
