Ever have repeated feelings of terror when it seems as though something horrible is happening or about to happen? Have you ever wanted to run from a room in fear and then done so, even though you have no idea why you were so scared? Do you feel like your throat and chest is closing and every breath will be your last? Has your heart suddenly seemed to be racing fast enough to leap from your chest and qualify for a NASCAR win? Welcome to the planet of someone with panic attacks.
These days anxiety attacks can affect a lot of people and for many different reasons. They seem to be more common in younger adults 18-35, but there is no limit on who can have one of these attacks. An anxiety attack is a period of time when a person feels overwhelming terror, but there is no discernible reason. This causes a fight or flight response in the body and many physical symptoms begin to occur. Some of the symptoms that accompany a panic attack include a racing heartbeat, dizziness or lightheadedness, great fear or exaggerated nervousness, rapid breathing and feeling as though it’s very difficult to breathe. Panic attacks vary in degree of severity but they are all uncomfortable and difficult for the person who is experiencing the attack.
These symptoms can be so severe that in some cases the symptoms of a panic attack can mimic the symptoms seen in a heart attack. Of course this worry just begins to feed the panic attack even more. Now you have a panic attack and the added worry that you are dying of a heart attack, and this makes the vicious cycle worsen. Many people will go to the emergency room thinking they will soon be knocking on some pearly gates, but they aren’t’ in any physical danger.
The reason why these 2 conditions may feel similar is because a panic attack can make someone feel as though their throat is closing and they can’t catch their breath. Their chest will begin to feel tight and they will have chest pain. One of the most common symptoms is a sudden feeling of not being able to take a deep breath. People will begin to gasp and pant. These are the same top symptoms seen in heart attacks. Although panic attacks are not fatal, not keeping them under control can lead to other problems, mainly emotional and psychosocial.This is why it is so important to find a way to stop before they take over your life.
Panic attacks create many social problems for sufferers and these attacks can make them prisoners in their own homes, afraid to go anywhere because they fear another attack. Since this is not a life threatening condition friends and family can sometimes run a little short of patience with these sufferers and this creates additional stress and upset. Many vacations and normal family outings have been cut short due to a sudden, severe panic attack. Detachement can build among family members and it is thought that tough love can straighten the situation out. There are many commonly tested treatments including psychiatrists, psychologists, high priced medicines and being ignored completely. One thing that these treatments have in common is that over 95% of them fail. There are some things in your lifestyle that you can change to help with panic attacks, but the biggest will have to take place from within.
It is this fear of a second or third panic attack that creates the scene for another attack. This fear has to be addressed and dealt with. One attack is all it takes to stay in your mind with the fright and terror of the event. Any tiny thing can stir up this stressful response and it starts the panic cycle all over again. There is help which can allow you to overcome Panic Attacks quickly and safely, so you can begin to live your life once again. When you have conquered the fear of another attack your life will truly begin to change for the better.
