Well if I were you I would take him to see a doctor because my sister-in-law just had to have surgery because of anxiety attacks something due to an extra vien she had that was leaking blood. Please take him to the doctor before it’s to late. Her surgery was 6 hours long, doctors told her she could have died, Please keep in mind that I am not telling you to scare you, but this problem with my sister-in-law scared all of us. Good luck
I have anxiety and what works for me is cutting down or stopping caffeine whether it be coffee or pop or energy drinks. Caffeine is a trigger of anxiety. Also, going in a dark room where its quiet and trying to sleep, or playing some soft music also works. If it is an attack where he is hyperventilating have him breathe slow in thru his nose ans slowly out thru his mouth- this helps stop any tingling sensations in his legs or arms that may occur and also possible dizzy spells. If he starts to get the nausiated or sick feeling like he is going to throw up…get him to a bucket or receptor because he probably will throw up for sure. Also he may want to make sure he eats a balanced meal due to his sugar levels may also effect his anxiety onset such as mine does. Writing his stressors or feelings or things such as that in a private journal will help get some of the thoughts out of his head so his conscious or subconscious do not dwell on them as much and it may help him to get rid of them all together. hope this helps.

The above 3 help my daughter. No caffeine. Exercise daily. Eliminate stress. Worship music. Don’t get weary in doing good.
Perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. The Lord is perfect love who casts out fear. How many times did Jesus say, “fear not?” He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world. The Holy Spirit within can teach us all things concerning Christ and when our eyes are on the Lord, we have nothing to fear. All things fall into place and order.
The Lord works best. My daughter was on every horrible medication for anxiety known, but the Lord can deliver us from the fear.
We all fear something – fear of man, fear of mother-in-law, fear of failing, fear of speaking in public, fear of driving without a shoulder to pull off onto, fear of height, fear of tight spaces, fear of fast driving, fear of being overweight, etc, etc, etc.
Christ can deliver us from all fear. Christ is that Perfect Love!
I really feel for you, I have a son of a similar age&would be so worried if he were to suffer anxiety. I have suffered anxiety myself since about 9yrs old-so thats about 22years. You’re obviously addressing his issues with counselling which is great,he’s lucky to have such great parents!The 2 most valuable things I ever used were Bach Flower Rescue (or Recovery) Remedy, it sounds silly that a bunch of petals made into a tincture can make you feel calm but they really are great.
Respected psycho analyst David Landau has a range of cd’s to help overcome anxiety, I was lucky enough to meet him by chance one day at the airport (I was in the full throws of a complete panic attack!)I got 2 cd’s, cost a pittance and I havent looked back since, its been 10 months since my last panic attack:) I cant sing his praises enough&I really hope you give it a try. I wish your son a speedy recovery:)
Have you tried Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)? It’s very effective with anxiety and simple to use once you learn it. Check out Gary Craig’s website at http://www.emofree.com for more details.
There are many different counseling methods that incorporate behavior techniques to address stress and anxiety. Medication can be useful in some situations, but tranquilizes should never be a long term “cure” for stress.
Natural cures for stress and anxiety include behavior management techniques, proper diet and exercise, herbal remedies and yoga techniques. These will actually work towards alleviating your stress.
I would try Tart Cherry. You can find an Apothe-Cherry brand on Amazon and other sites and sometimes you can find it in the health food store. It has to be flash pasteurized or the goodness will be cooked out of it. You can get capsules or liquid. Tart Cherry definately has a calming effect, and its giving the body nutrition, not forcing it to do something.
There are 2 programs out there that are famous for treating Panic Attacks and Anxiety successfully.
They are: Panic Away and The Linden Method.
You may wonder, “Which one is better?” Don’t worry, you’re not the only one with that question.
The Panic Away program is more appropriate for people who can cope with their Panic Attacks or Anxiety well.
Linden Method is more for those who aren’t really good in coping their Panic Attacks or Anxiety well.

I’d look into some alternatives like yoga, meditation, controlled breathing, tai chi. These techniques have proven effective over hundreds of years.
