Panic attack forums are a good place to seek for guidance and self-help apart from continuing with regular medical treatment. Panic attacks must not be taken lightly. In fact, if you have one panic attack per week then it is crucial that you consult a doctor immediately otherwise it might develop into an anxiety or panic disorder. Though panic attacks remain a mystery, the physical symptoms accompanying them are too painfully clear. People who suffer from panic attacks complain of palpitations, shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, confusion, lack of coordination, and so on. This is not a rare problem and many victims often discuss problems and possible solutions on the many panic attack forums on the Internet.
Panic attacks work through fear and there are many tips available on panic attack forums that can help victims to retain control of themselves rather than give in to the horrors of the attack. Most of the symptoms are associated with incorrect breathing, these include choking, palpitations, light-headedness, nausea, and resulting from all this are conditions like nausea, blurred vision, and a general sense of confusion. These symptoms make the victim feel fear of imminent death or similar doom and that aggravates the whole situation.

The best way to cope with panic attacks is to get informed about what happens during one and panic attack forums have many detailed personal experiences outlining this. Resisting and eventually getting rid of panic attacks is nothing but planning. A general reading of the tips will not do much good unless you are planned. Given below are some tips for dealing with panic attacks.
Take a sheet of paper (or notebook, it depends) and start making a list. Keep adding to this list as when you remember new things. The list will include everything that you fear, or find uncomfortable to deal with, that might possibly trigger a panic attack. Now, write down why you fear them and what you need to do in order to overcome that fear. Since most people fear death during a panic attack you must write that down and also write that you know a panic attack is temporary so the fear is groundless. Spend time reviewing your positive responses to the negative thoughts that come with a panic attack. The more you practice the more you will get to believe yourself. The next time, you will be a little less afraid and eventually, fear will lose its grip on you.
Another great thing about panic attack forums is that they allow you to express your feelings without being embarrassed. After all, nearly everyone in panic attack forums is there to discuss this very problem. You are no longer the odd figure in the crowd but a part of a community that is collectively trying to solve a problem for the benefit for everybody.
By taking part in panic attack forums you will be increasing your own knowledge about the psychological and physical aspects related to the attacks. Once you fully realize that most of the symptoms of panic attacks are based on imaginary issues, you will be able to cope better.
