These symptoms can trigger the feeling of nervousness and encourage to indulge in thoughts that can cause harm to mental and physical health.
Tips for obviating Anxiety Attacks:
Yoga:
Yoga is proven to be very useful to get rid of various diseases. Many doctors, along with prescribing medication, also advised practicing yoga. To reduce anxiety attacks, you must give your mind time to be relaxed by practicing yoga every morning. Get up early in the morning, go for a morning walk, feel the environment outside, listen to soft music and refresh yourself.
Breathing control:
It is when you get anxiety attacks. People don’t keep track of their breathing patterns while they get panic attacks. One should slow down breathing, and inhale from the nose and exhale from the mouth. Rapid breathing during panic attacks will decrease the brain’s oxygen, hence resulting in panic attacks and fear. On the contrary, if you slow down your breathing, it will help the oxygen to reach your brain, thus allowing you to come back to control.
Check on the diet:
If you are suffering from a problem of anxiety, then you must restructure your diet plan. It is essential when anxiety is one of the symptoms of PMS (Premenstrual Symptoms).
