how to help panic attacks

how to help panic attacks? Panic is common and can be treated. You can support the person to take the right steps in case of an impending attack:
 Advise him or her to stay where they are until the panic passes.
This might take up to an hour
 Slow, but not too deep, breathing can help to reduce the
physical sensations
 Focus their thinking on something visible (e.g. look at a
magazine)
 If hyperventilation occurs, sitting down and breathing into a
paper bag can help (this is not advisable if the person suffers
from asthma or heart problems)
Support the person to reduce caffeine consumption and avoid alcohol and
nicotine to reduce anxiety
