Panic and anxiety attacks are always scary events.
 They interrupt your life and sometimes embarrass you.
 They make you avoid places and activities.
 Some people have actually called an ambulance to their home for fear of having a heart attack!  Here are 3 tips on how to deal with panic or anxiety attacks.
  1.
 Get off of the couch.
Exercise is one of the best ways to deal with panic or anxiety attacks.
 Endorphins are released into the blood stream and stress is relieved.
 Less stress is good all the way around.
2.
 Recognize the symptoms.
Knowing when an attack is coming on will help you make the connection to the event or circumstance that triggers it.
 Take deep slow breaths and concentrate on being calm.
 Eventually the symptoms will go away.
 With practice dealing with panic or anxiety attacks in this manner becomes easier.
3.
Interrupt the cycle.
Try splashing some water in your face.
 This can interrupt the process you go through when an attack is coming on.
 If you recognize the symptoms and interrupt them early there is a good chance you can kill the attack before it even starts.
These attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear that seem to happen for no reason.
 Huge physical reactions are triggered that cause the individual to be very frightened.
 Some people think they are having a heart attack, losing control, or even dying.
  Some people only experience these episodes once or twice in their lifetime.
 But some deal with them very often.
 This most likely means they have a type of chronic anxiety disorder.
Once dismissed as nerves or stress this condition is now recognized as a very real medical condition.
 Although these attacks can significantly affect your quality of life, very effective treatment is available.
