Guidelines
For healthy people, a panic attack isn't dangerous. If you experience a panic attack, try the following:
- Practice full, consistent breathing to combat hyperventilation.
- Use relaxing distractions, like listening to music.
- Another distraction method is to stop and notice five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste.
- Exercise can also help stave off future panic attacks.
If someone else is in distress, do the following:
- Ask the person if they want space or support.
- Don't tell the person to "just calm down." Acknowledge their fear, and let them know you're there to support them.
