Ever since I started experiencing panic attacks(just over a week ago) I keep having this feeling that my heart is going to stop. I know that it’s most likely anxiety but it scares me a lot. Any advice??

Rarely, and it wouldn’t be related to the panic attack. During a panic attack your heart rate and blood pressure rise. If you have an underlying condition such as heart disease or an arrhythmia then these conditions would be the killer not the panic attack. A panic attack is more psychological which causes a feeling of impending doom. It’s scary.
I know. When I first had a panic attack, I thought I was dying. It’s important to remember that as scary as it feels, you will not die. It’s just a temporary feeling.
Hey, I understand how you feel…
The uncomfortable symptoms like sweaty palms, "jelly" legs, extreme alertness, "impending doom" feeling and the fight-or-flight response.
I’ve been there. I’m an ex-victim. Sometimes the deep breathing or distraction techniques doesn’t work – a full-blown panic or anxiety attack happens later.
Sometimes you experience panic attack out of the blue and such.
Do NOT buy Panic Away, Linden Method, EasyCalm or the Panic Puzzle. They do NOT work – I’ve tried them and their solutions are similar – it DOESN’T WORK.
Medications do NOT work – I was under many antidepressants (Prozac, Lexapro, Paxil and Zoloft) and anti-anxiety medications (Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax) but my condition was the same – no improvement at all.
The only program that really work is The Panic Attack Solution. It’s found by an ex-victim. You can check out his old blog in his official website to read up some useful tips.
But the package is the best – it teaches 17 powerful techniques and the real solution to panic attacks. I’ve bought it and it really helped me – it’s the BEST anti-anxiety package or book I’ve read.
His theory really makes sense and it works effectively!
You will learn why your panic attacks can happen without warning sometimes; why having stimulant causes panic attacks; and many-many other useful tips!
