How to Alleviate Panic Attacks : How to Do Breathing Exercises




Hi, this is Ben Brennan from Austin, Texas.
I'm coming to you on behalf of Expert Village
and today we're going to be talking about
panic attacks. Okay now I'd like to go over
the breathing exercises you can use to help
yourself be prepared for a panic attack and
actually be able to control or prevent panic
attacks from worsening. The first thing you
want to do is to pay attention to your body.
Are you breathing with your chest or your
abdomen or both? This is important to know
as we've mentioned before in another clip,
most people who suffer from an anxiety attacks
tend to be chest breathers too. So you really
want to know about yourself. Step one is to
lay on your back and relax. For those of us
with higher levels of anxiety, this relaxation
may take a while. But go easy on yourself,
if it takes you a first few days just to get
to the point of relaxation, be glad you probably
needed that relaxation time anyways a lot
more than you needed to learn how to breathe
right now. Be patient with yourself. Once
you are comfortable laying down and relaxed
enough to be able to observe your breathing,
try breathing with only your abdomen. This
may take some time so don't push yourself,
this is about relaxation. Also, remember that
breathing is an autonomic response. So you
really don't breathe as much as you allow
yourself to breathe. If you're having trouble
allowing yourself to breathe with your stomach,
try putting a book on it and adding a little
pressure as you breathe in and out. This will
give your body something to focus on and help
condition your stomach to rise instead of
your chest when you breathe. If you're still
having trouble breathing with your abdomen
instead of your chest, one thing you can do
is turn around and get up on your hands and
knees. Being in this posture will lock your
chest in a fixed position and allow your diaphragm
and your stomach to do the breathing work.
While you're doing this just relax and pay
attention to your stomach and you'll notice
what it feels like for your stomach to do
the breathing work. When you feel comfortable
with this you can go back to lying on your
back and practicing your abdominal breathing
according to the previous steps. Now don't
expect change overnight, but continue to do
this everyday if possible. Preferably for
fifteen minutes but really any amount will
help. You'll find that eventually this may
be the most relaxed part of your day and you
may actually look forward to doing your breathing
exercises. After a few weeks or a few months,
you'll know what to do when you start to feel
that panic coming and not only will you be
able to help panic attacks subside more quickly,
you may be able to avoid a full blown panic
attack from occurring by breathing properly
with your stomach and helping yourself relax
before your small sense of panic turns into
a full blown panic attack.

What Are Panic Attack Symptoms Or Signs Of An Anxiety Attack




my first experience with panic an
anxiety disorder
is something that I I don't remember
consciously because
I was I was young Idid not know what panic attack symptoms
by someone who would know because they
weren't young they were an adult
when it when the situation to place and
the way they recanted the story to maim
is shocking because I was there I saw
everything
my mother and my father had a a pretty
will say it difficult relationship not knowing the signs of a anxiety attack
another family member mine came to visit
and
made the decision that it was time to
take myself my mom and my sister
out love the the situation physically
removers
and take you somewhere safe and as the
story goes
the family member that term that made
the decision said to my mom
we're going to take a plane ride and
really long plane ride in it he be a
plane ride
over ocean or getting panic atttack signs in women
but it involves getting on a plane we're
going today and my mother
said I can't do that I can't I can't get
on the plane
and family member involve said I'm not
asking you to give the plane
I'm telling you to get on the plane now
was there
I don't remember it but I was standing
right there I don't recall those words
I don't recall looking up at my mom and
seeing my mom
meltdown in what was obviously a panic
attack symptoms for men
over getting on a plane and I'm told
that they had not
a long argument but they certainly had
an argument and eventually
my mom got on the plane and I i kno from
the stories have been told she gripped
the whole way
trampling stomach in knots on the edge
Evo
abe et panic attack the whole way and
the family member that retold the story
to me
did so as a cautionary tale not in any
way to impugn my mother
but to make the point that there are
going to be times in your life
if you deal with panic and anxiety that
it has such a hold on you
but you can't even take care of your
kids when you need to
can't do the things that you know
need to do to help keep your own kids
safe
and %uh that many have you listening
right now you don't need me to tell you
what a panic attack feels like and you
don't need me to tell you what names I
detect feels like a with that
knot in your stomach feels like you
don't need me to tell you
how hard it is to do some of those
things that seem to other people be so
easy
while they look at you like you're crazy
and they just can't understand why just
one more step
just walking across the room walking out
the door and and checking the mail
are getting in they they don't
understand why you can just hop in the
car and drive across town
and they say things you like I'll Drive
don't worry about I'll Drive
you know what I'm talking about
and more and only me tell you those
things but let me tell you what you do
need to hear
their people who need you to make some
changes
for them and their people that need you
to step out step forward and take a
chance
on getting some help not for you but for
them
I watch my mother say and do things she did not know the signs of a panic attack
but I know she wasn't proud of and maybe
that's one reason why don't remember it
consciously
but you can hear me consciously now you
can hear my voice talking deal
