Full blown anxiety panic attack - quick fix?

When you have a full blown anxiety panic attack, there are some quick fixes which you can apply. They do not entirely CURE your anxiety panic attacks, but they help you with the immediate symptoms relief.

Deep Breathing Exercises 

* Deep Breathing Exercises release tension from the body and clear the mind, improving both physical and mental wellness.
How to do these exercises, you might wonder?

1. Sit up straight (or lie on your back, whatever suits you better)
2. Exhale completely through your mouth
3. Breath in slowly through your nose
4. Hold your breath to a count of two to five (or anything similar that you can hold to)
5. Then slowly breath out through your mouth until all air is out. Exhaling takes a bit longer than inhaling.

Find a happy place in your mind 

* Find a happy place in your mind that you can always go back to. Just sit quietly and breath, and think of happy thoughts. Don't think of your attack (yeah I know it's like when I tell you 'don't think of the pink elephant', your mind goes right away guess where, lol: to the pink elephant. But you can do it, it takes just a little bit of practice)

Listen to Reiki healing and soothing music 

* Listen to some Reiki soothing music (Aeoliah, Llewellyn), I usually find it helps.

One of the things helped me personally cope with anxiety panic attack was reiki. But it was more than that. I started listening to Reiki music, and one thing lead to another, and now I have a level 2 Reiki attunement under belt :)
Now that I can do reiki healing on myself (and others too), even though my anxiety panic attacks have lessened, if not completely gone away, I am still in the habit of giving myself a 10-15 minutes reiki every day. This is a side benefit of searching for solutions on a problem, you might help yourself in more ways than you can imagine :)
This is not to say that Reiki is what singularly healed me. However it did help me a lot, and it continues to help me on a daily basis.

Some other things that help as an anxiety panic attack quick fix 

* Put some cold water on your face, either by splashing it, or using a wet towel. It should be cold though, not luke warm

* Drink chamomile herbal tea. It calms your nerves, your stomach and strengthens your immune system.

* Meditation and Visualization are very good.
This sort of goes hand in hand with going to a happy place in your mind, however it's more than that. Meditation is something that you can learn and it will be of great benefit to your life in general. And visualisation, you're doing it already, we all do :) The trick is to visualise positive, and not negative images!
