You can't cure panic attacks, but you can prevent them from becoming worse.

Don't take live so serious, think about changing your job. Go fishing start up a new hobby,Don't think about money slow down, there's nothing like a change in live to give yourself a new way to look at life and just be more lay back. Don't be thinking of others think about yourself more.Don't take any pills of any sort there's only one good pick me up and that's,a good sleep a good breakfast and a good walk.and a bit of the other***. You can be to nice theses days and it sometimes it will bite you back.
It's a bit like swimming, if you you get exhausted you have to tread water.if you don't you will drowned , Be nice to yourself and then you can be nice to other;s ,that's if there's anything left.
This might sound a bit selfish but any good mother or farther will tell you, to look after others you must first look after yourself.Year's ago there was no such thing and you would be told get a grip of your self and pull yourself together.But today it's a different live stile and we are all liable to suffer from stress of one sort or another.I myself had stress and had to have the pills and so on and I come of the pill's and started to look to me first and other after.

Hi, sorry to hear of your suffering with panic.
Have include my response to someone else, it is kinda long but hope it helps. I am no doctor or expert, just what helped me. Blessing
I suffered from severe anxiety for years and now I am fine. My doctor said it was the worse case he had ever seen, if I can recover so can you.
I have researched the subject of anxiety and here is what I found and what helped me:
First if you are having anxiety your brain chemistry is off, period. I triggered panic attacks and horrible anxiety when I am was under a lot of stress. I drank too much coffee, ate way too much sugar and began drinking beer and wine.
Street drugs, certain medication can do the same thing. These things over stimulate the adrenals and if it goes on too long will produce anxiety.
If you get too much adrenaline in your system from your adrenals being overstimulated it can cause your brain chemistry to get off track, either too much or too little of the brain chemicals are released and you are off and running with anxiety.
The neurotransmitter GAMA has a lot to do with anxiety.
Anxiety is often genetic in nature. My mom and dad had it.
Anxiety can be greatly helped by Vitamin C because often in an anxiety state the adrenals are exhausted. A good, sugar free vitamin C will help support them. I started with 500mg and worked like a charm. Also a B complex can be helpful as well as a raw adrenal supplement. All of these helped me a great deal when I suffered from anxiety. I simply did not get triggered into an anxiety state when I took the C, it was like a miracle and so simple.
Also I started taking thyroid hormone, Armour Brand in particular it is closest to nature. It contains T-3 and T-4 components, this is extremely important as most of the thyroid supplements are man made and not as effective. Also those who's thyroid levels don't register low enough often still need it. I was one of these people and when I started taking Armour thyroid was so much better, I can handle stress much better. Many people who are depressed, anxious and show symptoms of mental illness have great improvement with a thyroid supplement. I don't mean to go on and on about this but it is something to take a look at.
Also the pancreas gets off track because of the increase in adrenaline and can become extremely sensitive to sugar so watch your diet now. Stay away from sugar in general, coffee, fruit, simple carobs and so on. Processed foods will drag you down now. Because the pancreas affects blood sugar which also affects brain chemistry you can get all sorts of weird reactions. The pancreas actually goes into a spasm and stops working very well, you can get really tired and shaky, spacey and not think clearly. I found that a "Castor Oil" pack on the lower left side of the back where the pancreas lies will help it get back on track, do it for 3 nights for 20 minutes each night. Sounds weird and a bit messy but research it online, lots of info on this.
Remember when the body gets off then the emotions follow. When the emotions get off then the body gets off as well.
I contacted over 450 doctors and alternative practitioners seeking help over a 20 year period. I found someone who could "muscle test" for the exact supplements I needed to balance back. This is a very common practice among alternative medicine doctors and if you can find the right person can work a miracle.
Also NMT or Neruomodulation Technique helped a great deal. Not an ad here but just what worked for me.
Check out Bach Flower Remedies as well, they are amazing.
Pollution, heavy metals, mercury fillings can cause a lot of problems and scientists say we all have them in our systems. They tend to bind to the nerve cells within the body and brain and our systems simply don't work very well then. Make sure and get tested for this.
Many people have an allergy to milk and wheat. We can get depressed and cranky as can affect brain chemistry. Try and eat organic milk and bread, etc.
Sugar, coffee, alcohol, drugs, fast food can cause depression.
A lack of vitamin D and sunshine can affect brain chemistry and make us depressed.
Exercise if you can as it will work off some of the adrenaline.
You can recover and have a great life. Hang in there and don't give up.
