Panic attacks, or anxiety attacks as they are usually one and the same, can strike you out of the blue. They will strike you totally out of the blue. If you are a helpless victim of panic attacks do you wish you could magic them away? Maybe you can
Hit Like A Train
My wife was driving when she was struck by her first panic attack. Clearly this could have had disastrous consequences. When we both got over the shock, and let me tell you I was as shocked as her. We went to visit our doctor.
We got a standard lesson on the facts. Nothing to worry about, never in any real danger etc etc. Then we got a prescription for beta blockers. I’m using the term “we” here as I felt as much part of it as my wife did. Beta blockers work by slowing the heart. By doing this a panic attack shouldn’t build as the heart can’t race out of control.
We tentatively went out in the car again and sure enough at the same junction my wife started to feel an attack coming on. The result was a panic attack but with a calm heart rate. She said this was worse than before. Full blown panic yet her heart never even got into second gear.
Put The Drugs Where They Belong….In The Trash
I drove us home and we threw the drugs into the trash. My wife suffered for about nine months not being able to get behind the wheel. She had mixed feelings about it because she didn’t suffer panic attacks when she wasn’t driving.
We couldn’t let this situation go on. Her not being able to drive for fear of having an attack at the wheel. I constantly searched the internet for help and advice, and to be honest, hopefully a magic cure. We never found anything that really worked for long.
We Tried ‘Em All
I came across yet another “system” that claimed to be a magic bullet. We thought we may as well give it a go. We knew any success wasn’t down to drugs as she wasn’t taking them anymore. Fingers crossed it was looking good. The first attempt at driving and she got the overwhelming senses of an attack coming. She put the system into gear and managed to come out unscathed. So far so good.
We had a chat later and she reported she definitely had an attack. But using the methods she was able to tone it down considerably. This knowledge alone boosted her confidence no end. She was sure that next time she had an attack she had the tools to halt it in its tracks, although it didn’t work out as good as that.
Easy Does It
But she did manage to decrease it effect. Each and every time she felt an attacking growing she decreased its effects. It wasn’t too long (weeks) before she felt confident enough to see an attack coming and to halt it from going any further.
If you feel overwhelmed by these sudden attacks you have the choice to do nothing, or seek medical help in the form of drugs from your doctor. Which may or may not work? Good luck.
Or you can take the matter into your own hands and stop these panic attacks without drugs; the answer is here at this website…
