Anxiety Tingling Numbness
curing anxiety attacks for a young age ? not so severe..?

Alright, so basically I have anxiety.
And I had my first panic attack a month and a half ago.
I am 12, weighing currently 66 kilos(around 130 pounds) and 5 feet tall.
Can you cure anxiety without medication? If so, what are the natural remedies? There are famous sites that cure anxiety, and alot of people reviewed on it and said it works, though I don’t want to pay for it. Does anyone know those natural remedies, besides going to the doctor, therapy, etc.
btw, I went to the doctor the first day, when I had my first panicattack, the first man said he wasn’t sure if I had anything wrong with me, my blood pressure was perfect for my age. We went to another doctor just to get another opinion, she said I’m absolutely fine, I’m just a little too stressed for my age.
So, that hopefully, must lead to anxiety.
Since I have the symptoms.
numbness/tingling/slight coldness at times in toes/fingers.
dizziness sometimes, and shortness of breath, chest pain.
I need your help please
(:

Helpful Tips to Treat Panic Attacks

Panic attacks are frightening experiences that are often misunderstood by our loved ones and as such, they are at a loss to know how to help us when we are experiencing one.

Here are a few tips to treat panic attacks in the moment:

1) Lie Down

If you feel that your anxiety level has peaked and you are about to experience a panic attack, the best thing to do is to lie down. This will immediately act to calm yourself and your racing heart down. Do this whenever it is physically possible at the point you feel that your anxiety has escalated to the point of no return.

2) Visualize

Visually put up a stop sign in your mind. Focus intently on this until you can actually see this in your minds eye. Once it is there you will have temporarily blocked out the negative self-talk. At this stage, it is important to create a vision in your mind of the very safest place you can think of. Try to imagine a place that you have felt calm and grounded or it can be an imaginary location that makes you smile when you think of it. It is best to form this image at a time prior to your panic attack so that you are able to easily bring it back in your time of need. This technique really helps calm you down and is highly effective

Breathing

Proper breathing is essential to help you get rid of panic attacks in the moment. The next time you feel a panic attack coming on and the shallow breathing commences, try this instead:

1. Inhale deeply and slowly through your nose.
2. Hold your breath and count to six slowly.
3. Breathe out through your lips while slowly counting to eight.
4. Repeat this kind of breathing five to ten times.
