Answer 1/4 - Submitted 5/21/2010

A message of fear sends a signal to the adrenal glands that there is an emergency.

Relax by taking slow, deep, complete breaths. Calm yourself by remembering that you are only having a panic attack and that nothing more serious is happening to you. Continue to take slow, deep, complete breaths. Slow, deep, complete breaths will relax your body, which is the first step to reversing the release of adrenaline.

Stop Negative Thinking. Accepting your feelings is very important. Minimizing this experience usually serves to perpetuate it. Fear is a positive emotion that reminds you to take care of yourself. Listen to your feelings, take good care of yourself, and keep your emotions in proportion to the situation by keeping an appropriate perspective.Thanks for using webanswers_!

Hope this helps you.

Please get the book Hope and Help for your Nerves by Clare Weeks to get all the information you need to cure yourself from anxiety and learn ways to never have them again. I had bad anxiety and read this book and it cured me. I have recommended it to hundreds of people and they have all been helped.

Deep breathing, using homeopathic remedies like Rescue Remedy by the Bachs Flower Essence company or Calms Forte by the hylands company will all help tremendously. Just know that Anxiety cannot kill you and you will get through it. The book will change your life. Best of luck!

The best way to control panic and anxiety is to seek therapy and get on maintenence medication.
I have yet to find the source of my panic but at this point I am not overly interested in it. I have finally after many years am able to function better than ever but I am not 100% better.
I do Lexapro for maintenence, Xanax for emergencies, and Klonopin for my sleep panic. I still have trouble in airplanes and on elevators but I hope to get that resolved through therapy.
There are a few therapies that are recommended for anxiety. One is hypnosis. I have never tried it. The other is a type of therapy where you face your fear dead on. So they put you in situations where it will invoke a panic attack and then give you tools to manage it. It sounds like a great idea but the thought of a purposeful panic attack does not appeal to me.
So I recommend reading a fgew books. Learn breathing exercises and get on some medication.
