I believe the most important question is how do I prevent panic attacks. If they are quite severe and frequent, the first step is medication-usually an SSRI. Then it can be helpful to identify possible frequent triggers that set off the attacks. That can give you the option of developing other ways of managing the situations. After a panic attack, it is helpful to use relaxation techniques to calm yourself.
