Avoid Panic Attacks with Pranayama

Pranayama helps you not only to get away with panic attacks, but also adapt to preventive measures. But the advice of a physician should always be taken into consideration. Yoga and specifically pranayama helps to cope up with anxiety and panic attacks effectively.
We all go through hectic lifestyles and in that course, we generally get exposed to tremendous mental stress but its intensity varies. And, this is tolerated to different extents by different individuals. The “breaking point” is reached when anxiety level is crossed and gives mind tremors. When the mental stress reaches that threshold level, a panic attack occurs.
This panic disorder occurs in varied forms such as Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Disorder etc. These attacks occur suddenly and are marked by increased heart beat rate, hot flashes, shortness of breath etc but pranayama gives a soothing and immediate relief. However, it should be done under the supervision of a yoga teacher.
