Taking control of your actions during a panic attack is a great way to get it over with quickly. If you're frozen with fear, then you need to move; if you feel like running away, you must stand still. Battling back against the fear is the greatest way to beat it for good!
Eating multiple small meals a day can actually help keep panic attacks away. Your body will be sensitive to any sort of disruption, so keeping yourself from feeling hungry will ensure that you're satisfied and not searching out a meal. This is also a great way to keep your weight at a good level.
Panic attacks are terrifying because the person experiencing them has the sudden overwhelming fear that they are going to die. The important thing to remember about panic attacks is that you can control them cognitively. Your brain is taking normal everyday stimuli (a shift in the road while driving, for example), and interpreting them in a fearful way. You can course-correct this fearful interpretation by trying to recall what the source of that stimulus could be. This will reduce your fear and your panic should subside somewhat.
The first part of battling anxiety and your panic attacks is to identify all the different signs and symptoms of your specific panic attacks. Once you know all the signals, you will be able to tell when you are beginning to feel a panic attack. This will help immensely.
