Over the years...I've met some people with anxiety that have panic attacks from time to time. I'd like to take some time to post about these happenings.
Panic attacks can really take a toll on an individual. Experiencing a panic attack has said to be one of the most frightening and upsetting situations a person can undergo. When one occurs you may feel like you are losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying. They come very sudden without warning peaking rapid heart beating, fear, and stomach problems. These episodes are very abrupt and have no obvious trigger. They can last to as long as a whole day, but can be over in as little as 15 seconds.
There are many explanations as to why panic attacks occur. One reason can be a person’s passive nature. This nature is quiet, polite, and respectful, but can be contributing as to why panic attacks continue to be consistently present in some people with this nature. Another reason can be as simple as heredity. It has been found that panic disorder does indeed run in some families therefore having heredity playing a cause. Many studies on twins have been done. When one twin has anxiety there is a 30 to 88 percent chance that the other twin also has it.
Panic attacks and anxiety can really have a negative effect on ones social life. They can get so bad that just going from day to day can be a struggle. For example, a person with anxiety may not want to go out to large social gatherings in fear of having a panic attack. Someone with anxiety may not even want to leave his or her house causing a mild case of agoraphobia. Being afraid to leave ones house or comfort zone can also cause depression.
The symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety can be devastating. They can be similar to life threatening conditions so proper diagnosis and treatment is important. These symptoms include being dizzy, nauseated and flushed. There can also be sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chills, hyperventilation, abdominal cramping, headache, throat tightness, and hyperventilating. It is estimated that 2 to 6 million people in the United States have panic disorder. It usually starts in late adolescence or in your 30s.
With any medical condition or disorder comes medication for it. These medications may include very strong pills that take unwanted side effects on one’s body. A person with this disorder who has seen out medical help may be condemned to taking many pills everyday.
There has been much research done on this disorder, and fortunately an all-natural technique to cure panic attacks has been discovered. Visit
