   >>>> Having a panic attack is a terrifying experience. It usually starts   
   >>>> with a sudden, inexplicable sense of fear, and then escalate, adding   
   >>>> other symptoms along the way, such as feelings of choking or   
   >>>> suffocation, chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness, losing control,   
   >>>> or that you're going crazy or having a heart attack. Prescription   
   >>>> drug   
   >>>> therapies are often used in treating anxiety disorders (anxiety   
   >>>> attacks and panic attacks are the same thing), but many of them can   
   >>>> be   
   >>>> addictive, and symptoms, return when medication is withdrawn. There   
   >>>> are, however, several natural anxiety disorder treatments that   
   >>>> psychiatrists and psychologists use, sometimes in conjunction with   
   >>>> drug therapy, sometimes not, that actually can successfully treat   
   >>>> anxiety disorders.   
   >>>> The most commonly known and widely used methods for controlling   
   >>>> panic   
   >>>> attack symptoms are: switching to a healthier diet, including   
   >>>> eliminating caffeine, and deep breathing exercises. Caffeine is a   
   >>>> stimulant that can make you edgy, irritable and anxious. Removing it   
   >>>> from your diet, and eating more nutritious foods can make you feel   
   >>>> better and give you more restful sleep. Breathing exercises are   
   >>>> calming and help you avoid hyperventilation during panic attacks.   
   >>>> These are good tools for controlling panic attacks, but treat the   
   >>>> symptoms and not the disorder....
