1 Know what causes a panic attack. There are a lot of triggers
the power of the current gets delivered all the way to the
end of the line. Omega-3's can be easily obtained with
fish-oil capsules and flaxseed oils/capsules/ground
compounds. Your body doesn't produce them, you have to
ingest them in your diet. Follow recommended dosages on
the products.
6Keep your brain operating at it's best in the places where
panic attacks occur. The spectrum of B Vitamins (Bcomplex), are fundamental to ensuring self-regulation.
Your body does not store them, so you need to replenish
the supply daily, and intermittently through the day. These
can be found in most daily vitamins, and today, in many of
the new "power/energy drinks" on the market, but there
are many food sources rich in the B-complex vitamins,
including: Brewer's Yeast, Brown Rice, Leafy Green
Vegetables, Eggs, Fish, Legumes, Nuts, Soy Products,
Organ Meats (liver, etc.), and other Whole Grains. Its
important to know that the "RDA" or, Recommended Daily
Allowance, as seen on food and vitamin labels, set
minimum standards for basic health. If you are subject to
panic attacks, you may want to increase the levels of
these vitamins in your diet - most people tolerate 300%,
and possibly more of the RDA; however, overdoses can
occur with sustained over-consumption over several weeks
or months. Some side effects may be diarrhea, some
nervousness (B2/Riboflavin), and in particular, Niacin (B3)
can cause liver damage if more than 500 mg are taken
daily over several months. Talk with a qualified healthcare
expert about safe doses. Get this information before trying
to decipher the labels on the thousands of products that
contain supplemental amounts of these important
vitamins. And be sure to read the labels on those energy
drinks! Caffeine is often used to deliver the vitamins
quickly to your brain and body, but the caffeine sideeffects can cause big problems, especially for people who
are prone to panic and anxiety attacks. Opt for the vitamin
waters, or other vitamin sources when available.
7Control your environment - if you are cold, get warm. If it is
hot, cool off, but don't get chilled or cold! It is a good idea
to always have a light sweater or jacket available to put on
and take off as your body signals the need. If a person is
already experiencing an attack, one of the best things you
can do for them is to make sure they are warm, and that
sights and sounds are allowed to recede. Remove them
from the situation, and make sure they do not feel further
panic or overload by embarrassing them, or by making
them feel responsible or "guilty" for the attack. No matter
how much we take pride at our "self control," all bodies
can experience overload. When you do, the body takes
away all the substances it has from non-immediate need,
and puts everything you have into flight, safety, and
physical defense.
8Look for a small, contained space that removes you from
stimulus overload. If you're at an outing or other event, try
sitting in your car for a few minutes when you feel an
attack coming on. Consuming extra vitamins, or boosting
your levels with an energy drink 20 minutes to hour
before an event will often give you the reserves you need
for the next 3-4 hours, and help prevent an attack.
