Answers:
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!

You couldl also try square breathing. You inhale through your mouth for a count of 3 or so, hold it for a count of 3 or so, inhale again (without exhaling the first one!), then exhale and start over. Do this for 5 minutes if you can and you should feel calmer. You can also tighten all the muscles in your body for for a count of 10 and then release. Repeat this a few times to help you relax. Distract yourself with a TV show (comedy is best in my opinion!), or soduko puzzles work pretty well for me. Hope this helps. Anxiety sucks!!!Health Question & Answer
