To help somebody who has a panic attacked,you need to become yourself and you need to transmit serenity to that patient.You need to reassure them that nothing serious is happening to them and that nothing serious will happen to them.Then you need to tell them that in fact they have bringing the number of symptoms on upon themselves.You need to get them to brief slowly and calmly.You need to get them to relax their muscles and you need to get them to understand that they will be fine.So basically,we need to slow the systems down and transmit this to the patient.Breath slowly.Breath calmly.Relax your shoulders,relax your arm muscles and relax your leg muscles.Nothing will happen to you.By repeating this messages to the patient,they will gradually get into a normal sleep and breathing pattern and they will begin to say that they will come out of this.However if there is any doubts about the symptoms that they are expressing i think it is extremely important that one considers as getting them into the emergency department or to be seen by a doctor as soon as possible.
