How can I breathe easier while having panic attack?

I would definitely suggest attempting to just focus on the breathing part for a while. When it happens to me, I like to just sit in one spot and focus entirely on breathing deeply and how it feels, and letting it relax me. Sometimes it takes a while, but it helps overall to just let everything else fade into the background and remind myself that my breathing is working okay, so I'm working okay. Deep breathing is really helpful because it's naturally relaxing and also gives you something to focus on. Just try your best not to let your thoughts get away from you until you're breathing well again.

You can breathe easier by slowing your breathing down, straighten your posture and breathe from the abdomen!! Breathe slowly through the nose and out the mouth!! It will decrease the anxiety and panic!!

I focus on one point, maybe it's the snow outside my window or a word in a book or a lyric in a song, but I focus and try to stop my breathing because when I am not thinking about the stressor, my breathing relaxes!

When you're having a panic attack, you forget to do something: you forget to exhale. If you can remember that when you take a breath in, you have to release another one. Remembering to exhale should allow you to breathe a lot easier during a panic attack! :)

Calming yourself down may work, when you have panic attacks, you can't expect it, so if you can feel it, it'll work out faster.

I have suffered from panic attacks in the past and breathing was the most frightening for me. After a lot of research I discovered a technique that helped me immensely. The reason we have trouble breathing deeply during a panic attack is because we are not completely emptying our lungs between breaths. So, to breather deeper, make a concerted effort to exhale longer and try and completely empty your lungs. I know it will seem scary but when you take your next breath it will be complete and deep. This made all the difference for me.

Set everything else aside for a moment, and really focus on your breathing. Think, or perhaps even say aloud, "in, out," and repeat.

Breathe in for 7 seconds, and exhale for 8. I hear it helps you get more oxygen, and makes it feel less life you're suffocating.

I practice square breathing when I feel panicked. I breathe in for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds, exhale for 5 seconds, hold for 5 seconds. It's just like a square with the breaths on the top and bottom and the holding in each side. It has helped me immensely.

Take a seat, breathe deeply as you slowly count to ten. Observe your body, feel the support of the chair holding you. Remember that there is love and support surrounding you. Practicing mindful exercises and deep breathing will help relieve your panick attack. Make a game plan and call someone to walk you through a mindful exercise or meditation the next time you feel a panic attack coming on.
