I, myself, have a history of anxiety attacks and I found that the best help, for me, was to take a 1mg alprazolam (Xanax). It makes my panic/anxiety disappear within 10 minutes. However, alprazolam is a prescribed medication, so you would have to go see a doctor in order to get a prescription.
One of the most effective ways to stop having panic attacks is to look at each symptom of the panic attack as it's own thing, rather than a symptom of a panic attack. For example, someone might always feel really dizzy when he is starting to have a panic attack. Then the next time he feels dizzy and can't explain why, he begins to get nervous, and the nervousness causes more symptoms, and the cycle continues until he's actually having a panic attack. A way for him to get better would be to start spinning, and replicate the dizziness, so he can realize that dizziness doesn't necessarily mean panic attack. If you sweat excessively during panic attacks, then go to a sauna. If you feel out of breath during panic attacks, hyperventilate. Isolating the symptoms can help stop them from escalating.

This won't work for everyone, but for some people it really does the trick. The problem with learning how to stop a panic attack is that a panic attack is sort of a train that, once set in motion, is hard to derail. If you want to stop it dead in its tracks, try this the next time you feel one coming on: Take a cold shower. The shocking effect may just cool you down.

Focusing on your breathing and PMR (progressive muscle relaxation) can help to ease a panic attack's symptoms when it's in progress. In addition, herbal remedies (and certain medications, like Atavan) can stop a panic attack.

Symptom prescription is a technique whereby you address the symptoms that someone brings to therapy by encouraging them in some way to engage in those symptoms. For example, when treating panic disorder, after psycho education, skill instruction and skill mastery, the person is likely told to engage in behavior that will bring about a panic attack (e.g. going to the grocery store, hyperventilating etc…). Once a panic attack or panic-like attack is occurring the person is encouraged to use the skills and remind themselves of the educational aspects. However, most that experience a panic attack feel a restricted ability to breath, resulting in a cascade of other thoughts and bodily sensations. Thus, during this session, while having a panic attack or panic -like experience the person might be told to "hold your breath" or " try to stop breathing". Thus, they are told to do the very symptom that they fear. This occurs with the breathing issue as well as the seeking of panic like situations.

Probably but no one will ever know for sure, because the government would have covered it up to stop a panic.
Yes, I have. I read a fantastic book called "Self help for yoru Nerves" by Dr Claire Weekes which showed me exactly how to do it and I have been free of them for 15 years because of her and her book.
I have panic attacks too. I am still trying to get them under control. When I feel myself getting ready to have one, I have to tell myself that there is no reason to panic and sometimes I think about god and try to pray and sometimes that helps. I am currently on Lexapro for it and the medication works. I am also going to try and see a therapist. Try telling yourself that the panic attack is just a feeling that will not last forever. Your mind is your worst enemy. I know in my case it is. I can also think about a panic attack and throw myself into one, but then I have to remember that I did it to myself and everything is going to be ok. Have you talked to your Dr. about it? I hope you seek help with this. I would rather be in labor than have a panic attack. I know it will be hard but try not to think about the fact you have health problems. I should take my own advice sometimes because I worry about everything. I hope this helped you. Ler me know if it did. Also realize that anxiety and panic are emotional responses to things that scare us or threaten us in some way. I've found that switching to logical thinking will quickly put panic in its place. If you are worried about your heart condition, this is understandable. Who wouldn't be? You certainly will benefit from talking to your doctor to educate yourself on your limitations to prevent you from having a heart attack. Once you start looking at solutions instead of the anxiety or panic, the more quickly they will stop.
