Panic attacks, which incidentally are much the same as anxiety attack, will come quickly, and with a vengeance. They hit you like lightening and probably do as much damage. If you have had one I’m sure you pray you don’t get another. Well your prayers could be about to come true.
Hit Like A Train
My wife was hit with a very severe panic attack while she was driving the car. 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 say “we” because even though it was my wife having it, I was feeling like part of it all. If that makes any sense. The drugs would (he promised) stop her heart from racing at the onset of an attack, thus stopping the attack. All good in theory.
We tried going out in the car again and sure enough, at the same place she felt another attack looming. The upshot was, she had a full blown panic attack. Albeit without the racing heart rate. She said it was the strangest feeling having a panic attack but at the same time feeling quite calm.
Put The Drugs Where They Belong….In The Trash
I drove us home and we threw the drugs into the trash. A full 9 months went by and she never drove the car once. She had mixed feelings about it because she didn’t suffer panic attacks when she wasn’t driving.
She was determined we couldn’t allow the situation to continue. Not driving wasn’t a long term option for her. I did some in depth research on the web and we came across various techniques to try. Which we did with varying results. None of them worked properly, at least not for us.
We Tried ‘Em All
I came across yet another “system” that claimed to be a magic bullet. We tried it, and first reports looked good. My wife had long since stopped any drugs so any success was clearly down to the new method. The first time she drove she felt an attacked looming. However she quickly put the method into practice and got through the attack ok.
When we talked after, she said she still had an attack but she managed to keep it at bay. Just knowing she had been able to lower the intensity was a huge boost in itself. She now felt the power within herself to stop the next attack dead. She didn’t quite manage this.
Little By Little
But she did manage to decrease it effect. She did this every time it happened. She made it less and less every time. In less than a month she was able to know when an attack loomed. And more importantly stop it completely.
If you are a sufferer you can carry on as you are, or try 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…
