Breathing exercise can help

Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for the query

I can understand your concern. Panic attacks cause significant problems and impairment in functioning. If you have no access to doctor then to control panic attacks you can try relaxation exercises. Breath holding exercise can help in controlling palpitations and panic attack.

Herbal supplements like St John's wort can help. This has great roles in controlling panic and anxiety symptom. This you can find in a number of super markets.

Please contact a psychiatrist once you return back.

Thanks
