How do you treat panic attacks while driving?
I’ve gotten a couple of panic attacks in recent months, and I’m worried it’ll happen to me while I’m driving. What should you do if you have a panic attack while driving?

So sorry to hear about your panic attacks. The best way to treat panic attacks while driving is to pull over as soon as possible. Once you find a safe place to stop the car, take deep breaths and wait for the panic attack to pass.
If you see a therapist or doctor for your panic attacks, you may have more personalized methods for helping calm your symptoms—like a meditation practice or even medication. Do whatever you find most comforting.
In short, it’s important to limit driving while experiencing a panic attack. Pull over and put your car in park as soon as you are able to do so.
It’s a fact that unexpected things will happen while driving. That’s why it’s important to ensure you are protected by great car insurance. But there’s
no need to overpay
