Question by Karen B: What if any, cures panic disorder?
I have read there is no cure. That it is a medical condition. Okay, so why do we try so many ways to stop it? I have stopped trying to cure it, after many tries, and many options. Including acupuncture( did help, but no cure), chiropractic ( great for tension), meds.( side effects and more panic) I can only take tranquilizers, shrink, ( more and more pills, then er visits and side effects more panic) Back to primary dr. All of this is so expensive that its now a problem for us sufferers.What can help? The answer is, they don’t understand this condition enough. Or what causes it. I have had this over 20 years.

There are those who subscribe to the homeopathic remedies. Depending on the severity, there are certain triggers that will bring on a panic attack. A friend who had mild ones used to rub the palm of his hand with the thumb from the other hand. Another takes medication. A third noticed that if he didn’t get a full night of sleep and exercise frequently, they would come on more frequently.

In all honesty, it’s probably a slight chemical imbalance that’s neurologically based. If you’ve been suffering for 20 years, I’d go to a Psychiatrist and discuss it with him/her. They can perscribe meds to reduce the onset of panic attacks, as a primary care physician might not be able to accurately diagnose this.

Good luck.
