Advice from : John, Filida
Counting breaths work when you feel anxiety. I went to a yoga class and learned to listen to the difference breathing in and breathing out. I really concentrate on listening then count three breaths. I know I will feel a little calmer after breath number three. Most of the time it works to calm my anxiety.

Valerian root taken at bedtime aids in preventing panic attacks at night. Valerian is

"If you feel anxiety it's important tell yourself positive things (when you feel nervous or panic) -- even if you don't believe them! Examples: I will be okay. I'll feel better in a minute."
