Panic attacks??

Question

I was wondering if anyone has any helpful ideas for me. My bf had a very traumatic accident about a year and a half ago at his job recently about three weeks ago went back to the same job on light duty. Around the same time he started to get panic attacks I thought that's what they are I suffer some anxiety but I know when things will trigger mine he does not. He just woke out of a dead sleep with one for instance. He just started seeing a therapist however is there anyone who has them that can give me some ideas to calm him down and help him breathe quicker??? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies. Please no rude comments about seeing a dr he has and is taking the correct steps.

Answer

I get them sometimes at the randomest times. I could have one sitting watching tv and then not have another  for months. Or I could have one eating cereal and have one every other day for a week. The best way to deal is calm yourself down and focus on something. You have to focus on regulating your breathing and heart rates.

Answer

I suffer from panic attacks and they are completely different from anxiety. For instance where a person with anxiety might be somewhat aware of their triggers or even know when they are to stressed a person who suffers from panic has no idea it's very random and is often times the subconscious being reminded of something ( for me when I drive my subconscious seems to relate to being smothered.?.) they often come out of nowhere. 
​Is your boyfriend hyperventilating when he has them?
​It might be that he should slow his breathing down in which case he needs to sit straight up or lie down and count to 10 between each breath.
​A lot of the time when you become aware of your breathing it is very hard to slow it down I am prescribed Xanax to take as needed and have found it is the only thing that really helps..
​The best thing you can do is be understanding and supportive as it is very scary.
