Hello,
It is understandable that a panic attack can unsettle you at unassuming times.
However, as you understand that it is for a temporary span. You can breathe deep and mindfully connect with the present moment.
Engage your sense so you are not disoriented. You can Converse with someone around you, hold on to an object in your hand to release the tension, start walking. Grounding yourself well through this phase as it passes can give you relief.
The way you manage it ,can reduce its intensity and also frequency.
Identify the triggers of your panic attack and be ready with your counter calm giveback.
You will be able to navigate towards your peace well.
You can consult for further professional guidance.
Happy Healthy Living!

Experiencing panic attacks in public spaces can be distressing, but there are strategies to help manage them. Firstly, focus on your breathing; practice slow, deep breaths to help calm your nervous system. Ground yourself by noticing specific details around you, like the colors or textures. Consider carrying a small comforting item or engaging in a repetitive motion, like tapping your fingers, to redirect anxious thoughts. Gradual exposure to these situations, paired with relaxation techniques, can desensitize your response over time. If these challenges persist, seeking guidance from a mental health professional can provide personalized strategies for coping with panic attacks.

Hi... There are some breathing techniques that you can learn to deal with a panic attack but they are not a permanent solution. Medications and Psychotherapy (CBT) works best in such cases. Typically the root is primarily psychosocial in nature which needs to be addressed in a therapeutic setting. Remember, panic attacks are like a false alarm of the mind as if the body is in dire danger, which is not true. They are usually brief but there intensity and frequency may vary from case to case. Try not to look for quick solutions and address your issues from the root.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.

Mr. Vijay Kumar
Psychologist

The cause for panic attacks need to be assessed through a psychologist, preferably. Panic is usually the outcome of excessive anxiety, often defying logic and reasoning. Some people, due to the upbringing in an anxiety-producing environment (sometimes because of the personality traits and behaviour of closely connected family members), develop a mental outlook to see problems in a magnified way, leading to the generation of excessive anxiety. Some have the tendency to be perpetually anxious as a part of their own personality traits. Whichever way anxiety is produced, it has to be handled (and gradually eliminated) to overcome panic attacks. Once the psychologist assesses the condition, she/he may suggest you to consult a psychiatrist for probable anti-anxiety medication. A combination of medication (usually short term) and counseling / psychotherapy is very likely to bring you back to normal mental health devoid of panic attacks. It will all depend on the outlook and attitude of your own and of those close to you towards accepting professional help for mental health conditions.
Next Steps
Please consult a psychologist.
