CHECK Magazin - Gesundheitsmagazin für Männer No.7
Männer sterben statistisch gesehen etwa fünf Jahre früher als Frauen. Das mag auch daran liegen, dass sie sich eher scheuen, regelmäßig zum Arzt zu gehen. Schließlich sind wir ganze Kerle und beißen lieber die Zähne zusammen und gehen erst zum Onkel Doktor, wenn es richtig weh tut. Vorsorge lohnt sich aber, besonders wenn es um Krankheiten geht, die unsere Lebensqualität bei Ausbruch enorm mindern.

ROLF HUTH:<br />
What can trigger a panic<br />
attack and what you can<br />
do about it<br />
"SHALLOW BREATHING IS<br />
LIKE DRIVING A CAR WITH<br />
THE HANDBRAKE ON."<br />
Panic comes suddenly and without warning.<br />
The symptoms are sweating, numbness,<br />
shortness of breath, dizziness, hyperventilation<br />
and many more. Panic attacks are often<br />
triggered by trauma, medication, or even thoughts,<br />
as well as sudden anxiety.<br />

Rolf Huth, trauma therapist and coach, suffered<br />
from childhood trauma for many years<br />
– almost 50 years without even knowing it. By<br />
luck, however, he found the right therapist and<br />
was healed in just three sessions. Today, he<br />
helps many affected people to escape their<br />
fate. Here he tells you what to do when hit by<br />
a panic attack.<br />
BREATHE DEEPLY<br />
Breath is an important vital force that can be<br />
used immediately when panic arises. Concentrate<br />
and inhale deeply through your nose<br />
so that your belly bulges outward. Focus only<br />
on the breath, hold it briefly before breathing<br />
it out of your body through your mouth. The<br />
stomach becomes flat again. You instantly<br />
supply all organs and especially the brain with<br />
fresh oxygen. At the same time, concentrating<br />
on the breath automatically leads away from<br />
the mostly unconscious thoughts and triggers<br />
that triggered the panic attack.<br />
FIND INNER PEACE WITH<br />
MEDITATIONS<br />
Meditations help to treat sleep disorders, inner<br />
restlessness, panic, anxiety and the like in a<br />
meaningful way over the long term – and without<br />
any side effects. Relaxation techniques<br />
such as yoga and qigong work again and again<br />
with meditative elements. With this, many<br />
people help themselves to recharge their<br />
batteries with more calm and serenity.<br />
BE PARTICULARLY CAREFUL AND<br />
LOVING WITH YOURSELF WHEN<br />
NEGATIVE THOUGHTS TORMENT YOU<br />
Take precautionary measures and treat<br />
yourself particularly lovingly and carefully,<br />
especially in difficult times. This includes<br />
finding peace and serenity and dealing with<br />
people who are good for you. Eat healthy and<br />
drink sufficient amounts of water and herbal<br />
teas. Minimize stress wherever possible.<br />
ACCEPTING OUTSIDE HELP<br />
Please do not feel ashamed if you confide<br />
in a therapist or psychologist when you are<br />
panicking or afraid. Mental disorders such as<br />
post-trauma, fear, panic and the like are not<br />
always as obvious as physical complaints.<br />
The soul doesn't heal as quickly as a broken<br />
arm. But it is all the more important to bring a<br />
professional on board. (rh,mb)<br />
