I have had a panic attack every day this week, and wanted to know if there was anything I could do to stop or prevent them. Or even maybe what is causing them? I am headed to college in August, which seems to be the only stress factor I could think of, but I m not really all that worried about it.
Hi, I can understand your concerns regarding repeated panic attacks. A panic attack can occur as part of panic disorder or even other disorders like agoraphobia or depression. You might juts be suffering from panic disorder. The best way out is to initiate treatment for it. You should seek a psychiatric consultation for the same. Treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like sertraline would be helpful. In addition, you can start exercising daily which will help you relax. You can also learn some relaxation exercises like deep breathing and progressive muscular relaxation which will be helpful. Hope that answers your query. Best wishes.
