You break out into a sweat.
Are people looking at you? Where is the nearest exit? You start to feel out of breath.
You feel an impending sense of doom.
Are you going to die? Are you having a heart attack? This scary scenario is played out by millions of people each year who suffer from panic and anxiety disorders.
If the words seem scary, imagine actually experiencing it.
It is horrific, scary and life altering.
Thankfully, there is help.
Even though many people experience these disorders, many people also rise above them and go on to have wonderfully fulfilling lives without panic and anxiety.
Here are four quick tips on how to start to move beyond your disorder and have a panic free life: 1.
Get on a good multivitamin that includes B vitamins as well as magnesium.

Exercise regularly: This cannot be stressed enough because exercise will help get rid of the excess adrenaline coursing through your veins that causes the panic.
3.
Find someone to talk to: Find a support group, even if it is online, where you can openly share your feelings and what you are experiencing.
You are certainly not alone! 4.
Realize that this too shall pass.
