Avoiding Anxiety Attack While in the Air - Are You Afraid to Travel in a Plane?

By Garyl Hany

For some people, flying is not a pleasing experience. It can cause turmoil in someone's life, including nausea and vomiting. In few cases, flying thousands of feet high may trigger an anxiety or panic attack. Fortunately for some people, there are other means to travel from one place to another. But in reality, one has to ride a plane to travel much faster and more conveniently.

Truth be told, you can survive anxiety attack without ingesting medication. All you need to do is to trust and understand what's going on in your body. The solution on how to get rid of anxiety attack is within you.

Since the cause of your phobia usually comes from inside your brain, you can trick your brain such that it will function normally during a traumatic experience. Phobia has to be address so that anxiety attack is prevented. This preventive measure is very effective. The bottom line is to stop your brain from feeling threatened if there is no real fear.

For instance, hours before the flight have a hypnotic therapy from a professional. Keep in mind that anxiety attack is like a bubble. It slowly expanded and then burst. So, you have to prevent the symptoms of anxiety from appearing and accumulating. Through hypnosis, your brain can be programmed such that it can think clearly and function effectively.

For more security, you might want to bring a friend or a family with you. A close friend can help alleviate the symptoms of anxiety attack. During the flight, your friend will be a great distraction. You two can talk about happy moments and experiences you'd shared so that your brain is tricked that everything is fine.

But, if you can't bring along someone with you, do some deep breathing and relaxation. This is a great way to bring enough oxygen to your brain so that it can function normally. If possible, sleep on your journey. You are also encouraged not to take in alcohol or smoke prior to your journey. They can interrupt the circulation of the oxygen and blood in your body and thus increase your stress level. As an alternative, drink a lot of water, eat enough healthy food and chew gum. - 29881
