What is the best way to stop a panic attack?

The "best" way will vary from person to person, so try different techniques and see which ones fit best with you. One technique is to remove yourself to a place or situation that is more calming (e.g. pull to the side of the road, exit the crowded room, walk outside if possible) and engage in some deep breathing exercises (8 counts in through your mouth, 8 counts out through your nose). Mentally and/or verbally acknowledge what is happening ("I am having a panic attack."), speak a reassuring mantra (e.g. "I am safe/I will be ok/I can get through this."), and then wait for the wave of panic to pass. A good way to stop a panic attack is to be prepared for it in the first place, so be sure to practice your deep breathing and choose a mantra ahead of time; that way, it will be familiar and on-hand when you need it most.

Breath sometimes we forget to breath and use coping skills. Understand the reason why you are having a panic attack

In truth, it varies from person to person. My recommendation is to treat the immediate hyperventilation first. This involves cupping your hands and loosely placing them over your mouth; not so that you can't breathe, but in such a way that you're inhaling the same air that you're exhaling. This will help to balance the acidity of your blood, and may reduce the symptoms of your panic attack.

I found that one of the best ways to stop a panic attack is to control ones breathing and bring it down to a normal rate. Another thing that helps is focusing on surroundings and slowering down the thought process in order to enable logical thinking to transpire.

Everyone is different. For me changing my surroundings or placing a weighted blanked on myself helps. Try new things everytime and see if any one helps. Also google weighted blankets! theyre a real life saver.

Focus on your breathing and take your mind off of whatever is making you panic. That usually works for me. But if not, try to get someone you trust that you can talk to about it or connect with a listener on 7 Cups of Tea!

Breathe. That's one of the best things we can do, breathe in through your nose and from your stomach rather than chest, hold and then breathe out through your mouth. This helps us to not hyperventilate. Sipping cold water can also help. Just remember, it will stop.

Take deep breaths. Think about things that make you happy, or make you smile. Lie down somewhere and listen to your favourite music. Find someone you trust, like a parent, a best friend, a sibling, and tell them how you feel and just chat.
