Panic Attacks – Can They Be Stopped Without Taking Drugs?
Panic attacks, or anxiety attacks as they are usually one and the same, can strike you out of the blue. They usually hit you at the worst possible moment. If you have had one I’m sure you pray you don’t get another. Well your prayers could be about to come true.
BAM! The First Attack Hits
My wife was hit with a very severe panic attack while she was driving the car. Clearly this could have had disastrous consequences. As soon as we knew we were safe and the initial shock had died down, shock for us both I might add. We made an appointment to see our doctor.
The doctor gave us the usual garbage about it being all in her head, no real danger, blah blah blah. We then got prescribed some 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.
Stick The Drugs In The Trash
We trashed the beta blockers as soon as we got safely home. My wife never drove, not once, in the next 9 months. 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 went on the web and did a bit of digging. We tried a few different things, with mixed results. None of them worked properly, at least not for us.
We Tried ‘Em All
We then happened across yet another “method” to supposedly stop them. 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 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.
In our debriefing session later she said that although there was a panic attack, it was no where near as bad as before because of the new system. This knowledge alone boosted her confidence no end. She was sure the next time she could stop it all together. She didn’t.
Bit By Bit
Although not stopping it fully, she did low the intensity again. Every time she had an attack she had the ability to lower the force of it. Pretty quickly she got to the stage where she can recognise the signs and stop it dead in its tracks.
If panic attacks are the bane of your life you can either do nothing, or see your doctor and try some form of medication. Either way there’s a good chance you won’t get better any time soon.
