My boyfriend and I are taking Amtrak, for a 27 hour ride. My boyfriend suffers from severe panic attacks and travel anxiety. We reserved a room so that we can lay down and feel a little bit isolated. We know it’s small, but he said it would help him. He is nervous enough about the ride, and i doubt he will be able to fall asleep with his nerves running wild. Besides listening to music, watching movies and reading, what do you recommend we do to keep entertained, to have fun, and to take his mind off traveling? Thanks!

Panic attacks may be defined as symptoms of anxiety disorders. They are unexpected serious health problems which  are sudden, unprovoked and appear to be destabilizing in nature. The development of panic attacks often leads to irrational behaviours known as Phobias. Just like several other disorders, panic attacks can also have serious mental and psychological effects. There are basically two types of panic attacks and they are; Panic attacks with agoraphobia and panic attacks without agoraphobia.

Some of the most notable panic disorder symptoms include;  breathing difficulties, chest pains, dizziness, feeling week, sense of terror or an impending doom,  feeling of a chilly sensation or sweating , numbness in some parts of the body{especially hands and fingers}, increases in heart beat, and general loss of control. Stress, depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the aggravated symptoms of panic attacks. Stress can contribute immensely to panic attacks especially when  the individual victim is obsessed with doing the same thing for a long period of time. Anxiety can be short-term or long term depending on the severity of the panic attacks.
