1. TO AVOID
THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE, DRINK PLENTY OF WATER,
(it lowers stress hormones, lactic acid, histamine and cortisol)
2.
TAKE VITAMIN C TO LOWER YOUR CORTISOL LEVELS, and to detoxify
MSG
...(Cortisol
triggers the flight or fight syndrome behind a panic attack.)
VITAMIN C
ALSO LOWERS LACTIC ACID, A KNOWN PANIC ATTACK STARTER.
2 OR 3 (500
MG. TABLETS) SHOULD DO THE TRICK. IF YOU DON'T
HAVE ACCESS TO THIS, JUST ADD FOODS TO YOUR DIET THAT
ARE HIGH IN C SUCH AS LEMONS...LIMES, ETC.
3.
THESE CAN HELP...IF
YOU ARE ON MEDICATION, CHECK WITH YOUR HEALTH PROVIDER FIRST
BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY HERBS.
A. SIBERIAN
GINSENG, it increases oxygen, which lowers lactic acid, a
substance capable of triggering a panic attack.
B. VALERIAN
ROOT... IS VERY HELPFUL BUT CAN
MAKE YOU SLEEPY, SO DON'T DRIVE WHILE TAKING IT.
SLEEP IS GOOD SINCE IT IS THE OPPOSITE OF PANIC RIGHT?
C.
BENEDRYL IS ALSO HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BUT IT
CAN MAKE YOU SLEEPY AS WELL, SO TAKE BENEDRYL AS DIRECTED
AND DON'T DRIVE WHILE TAKING IT. BENEDRYL AND VALERIAN
ARE VERY SAFE IF YOU FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BOX.
4. START
WALKING EVERYDAY.
EXERCISE INCREASES OXYGEN LEVELS. (Low oxygen + carbs =
lactic acid which is a powerful panic attack starter.) Cut
out bad carbs such as sugar and white flour for a while and see
if that helps.
5. EAT
REALLY NATURAL FOODS FOR A WHILE.
EAT LOWER SODIUM FOODS TOO. SHOP THE OUTSIDE AISLES OF THE
GROCERY STORE and AVOID PROCESSED FOODS IN GENERAL. IF YOU
WILL NOTE, A PANIC ATTACK WILL OFTEN COME AFTER A REALLY SALTY
MEAL OR AFTER A FOOD WITH MONO-SODIUM GLUTAMATE IS EATEN.
4.
RELAX YOUR MUSCLES,
TIGHT MUSCLES MAKE LACTIC ACID, WHICH IS USED IN RESEARCH TO
START A PANIC ATTACK. JUST LAY QUIETLY, BREATH SLOWLY, AND
RELAX.
5.
GET A LITTLE SUNSHINE AND FRESH AIR EVERYDAY..
YOU'LL FEEL BETTER ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
6.
STOP WORRYING.....DON'T
DWELL ON IT ONCE IT IS OVER. DON'T THINK ABOUT IT
AND TALK ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME. START HAVING SOME FUN.
