Answer by Jonas
Panic attacks, also known as anxiety attacks, are simply a manifestation of strong anxiety. There may be many underlying triggers of your panic attacks. Panic attacks are thought to emanate from higher adrenaline production, thus increasing your heart rate and giving you a speedy feeling. During panic attacks, many thoughts are rushing in your head leading to an information overload, where you just can not process all of them at once.

It is rather difficult to stop them as anxiety in most cases is an irrational phenomenon which will act individually of your conscious mind. However meditation, supplements, exercise and many other techniques will help you alleviate their severity. If your panic attacks are due to phobias, such as social phobia, you will want to work on improving this condition. It is important to track down the triggers of the anxiety and learn to face them without fear.

I have found supplements and exercise one of the most useful, do a little research and you will find more great ways which may be helpful to you at reducing anxiety.
