Why do I get more panic attacks during the holidays?

I am not a doctor or a therapist. Anxiety attacks and panic attacks are the same thing: a sudden, powerful physical reaction to stress. Getting more panic attacks around the holidays is not unusual as holidays can be especially stressful.

Panic attacks are curable if you can isolate and treat their underlying cause. Panic attacks are often triggered by specific situations which are similar or related to a situation in your past which caused you extreme stress. If you undergo therapy (either traditional therapy or hypnotherapy) to resolve the issue(s) that trigger your attacks, you can cure them.

There are a wide variety of prescription anti-anxiety medications available to treat panic attacks when they occur. These medications are sedatives and work by suppressing the central nervous system. Sedatives can have powerful side effects.

You should always carefully discuss their use with your doctor. There are alternative therapies for treating panic attacks. These include relaxation techniques (meditation and hypnosis).

You can also try treating them with anything else that helps you relax (a hot bath, deep breathing exercises, yoga etc. ). Not all methods work equally well for all sufferers. From WebMD.
