Q: How can you prevent panic attacks?
Dani
Thank you for your question.
The best way to prevent panic attacks is to talk with your doctor about how you are feeling and begin a treatment program, if you are diagnosed with panic disorder.
Some people find that cutting down on alcohol, getting a good nights sleep, eating three meals a day and cutting down on caffeine help to reduce panic attacks. Other people use medication and cognitive behavioral therapy as part of an overall treatment program.
