Are You Free of Panic Attacks?
You may not realize it, but you may suffer from something that
can take over your whole world if you let it. You'll recognize
the symptoms, but you'll have no idea what's behind them.
Panic attacks are debilitating. One moment, you're living your
day to day lifestyle and the next, you find yourself paralyzed
with the feeling that you've lost all control. You worry about
the possibility of something happening to you. It all comes on
so quickly and unexpected, that you're blown away and the only
thing you want to do is go right back home.
While they can be caused by a number of things - heredity,
biological forces, even exaggerated thinking - the main culprit
is usually stress. As stress plays such a huge factor in our day
to day lives, we don't realize just how profoundly we're
affected until something highly stressful approaches and we're
struck with a panic attack, afraid of absolutely everything that
may come our way. Finding a proper stress relief is crucial in
order to help limit the number of panic attacks a person has at
any given point in their life. If stress is controlled before
panic and anxiety set in, there is a better likelihood of being
able to stop panic attacks before they start.
The symptoms of a panic attack are obvious enough: the rapid
heartbeat, difficulty breathing, the feeling of dizziness and
dread, trembling, sudden chills,and the pins and needles feeling
in your fingers and toes are only a few of many symptoms. In any
given year, there millions of people who experience a panic
attack - some of which experience repeated panic attacks.
The best course of action for panic attacks would be to talk to
your doctor, who can prescribe medications and forms of therapy
to assist with the treatment of those feelings of panic. Only
your doctor would know the treatment that is best for you. While
a panic attack may leave you feeling the need to hide and can
feel as though it controls every aspect of your life, it doesn't
have to. With proper treatment and reduced stress, you can
reduce the number of panic attacks you have, and can even
eliminate them! A happy, healthy life is once again within your
reach.
