Anxiety management...

* Doing breathing exercises every day will help to prevent panic attacks and relieve them when they
happen.
* Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, will help you manage stress levels, release tension,       improve mood and boost confidence. 
* Eat regular meals to stabilize blood sugar levels.
* Avoid caffeine, alcohol and smoking - these can make panic attacks worse.
* Panic support groups. Knowing that other people are experiencing the same feelings can be reassuring.
* Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can identify and change the negative thought patterns that can feed panic attacks.

Stress is a part of life, that's for sure. If nothing else, I do keep hearing about the role of slow, deep, rythmic breathing in calming the body and mind. Can't hurt anyway. Just sayin' :) Hugs.

Blessings,
