The Key to Curing Panic Attacks

The Key to Curing Panic Attacks
You would be surprised at how many people visit the
emergency room because of a heart attack when the reality
is they are only experiencing a panic attack. That will
give you an idea of how intense the symptoms of a panic
attack can be.

First let's look at the different physical symptoms that
indicate you might be having a panic attack.

Shortness of breath

Trembling or shaking

Sweating

Tightness of the chest

Inability to focus or sit still

Chills or hot flashes

Not only do people experience physical symptoms with panic
attacks, but there are psychological symptoms as well. Here
is a list of the most common psychological symptoms people
experience when having a panic attack or experience while
expecting a panic attack to happen:

Fear of losing control

Fear of dying

Agoraphobia or fear of public places

Feelings of unreality

Depression

Potential tendency to turn to substance abuse

For people dealing with recurring panic attacks it can be
difficult for family members or loved ones to fully
understand what you are going through if they have never
experienced a panic attack before.

Sometimes you may feel like you are forced to face the
panic attacks alone because your closest friends and family
may think you are simply trying to get attention or may
quickly lose patience with you because they don't see it as
a big problem.

It's important to understand that you are not alone in your
dealings with panic attacks or anxiety disorder. Many
people commonly experience these types of symptoms
throughout their lives. Some more than others, but you are
not as alone as you may think you are when dealing with
these type of problems.

Rest assured panic attacks are not as life threatening as
some people think them to be. The cure for panic attacks
lies in how you handle the panic attack symptoms.
Controlling your thoughts is the key to controlling the
power the symptoms have over your mind and body.

If you are unsure whether or not the symptoms are from a
panic attack it is a good idea to visit your doctor to get
checked out. Even if you are absolutely sure you are
experiencing a panic attack it doesn't hurt to have a
doctor investigate the symptoms you are experiencing.

Most importantly remember that panic attacks can be treated
without the use of medication, and most people just need
someone to help guide them in the right direction.
