Panic anxiety attacks are traumatic episodes that render a person helpless and the feeling that he or she has no control over their emotions. Their emotional and mental state are so riled up that they are unable to function normally. An attack usually happens quickly and without warning if the person does not have the slightest clue about his diagnosis.
Should the disorder aggravates, the victim becomes more susceptible to the attacks and even the slightest trigger can cause them to become frantic. There are many symptoms that may hint at the possibility of an anxiety attack, and they always act up prior to and during the episode. Some of the symptoms are:
* Increase in heart rate and palpitations
* Nausea
*Quivering
* A dizzy feeling; the victim’s constitution is weak and he feels as if he’s about to faint
* Trembling
*A tingling sensation in the extremities
*A sense of detachment from oneself or from the rest of the world
* Hot flashes or chills
* A sense of detachment from oneself or from the rest of the world
* Chills or hot flashes
* An overwhelming fear that one is about to die
What Is The Cause?
Anxiety attacks emanate from the feelings that one is trapped in a predicament so serious that there is no way of extricating himself from it. In many cases, the victim thinks that he will not survive the episode and that his life is threatened. Such overwhelming feelings can often drive one out of his mind, causing things to spiral out of control.
The feelings of grief and depression are two emotions that trigger the onset of anxiety attacks. Medical conditions such as low blood sugar, chemical imbalance, and thyroid disorder are attributing factors to anxiety attacks as well. Some stimulants such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, antihistamines and amphetamines can also bring about anxiety attacks. To effectively curb anxiety attacks, you should look into ways to eliminate these factors.
It is a chained effect: Panic anxiety attacks are a symptom of mood disorders, and mood disorders are symptoms of a condition that is far more debilitating. Thus, if you have developed a phobia for a living thing such as cat, it is important that you delve deeper and understand your fear of cats, instead of just knowing that you are afraid of cats. Identify the cause of your fears.
Stamp out the root of the problem, overcome all your fears and you will be able to eliminate the possibility of an anxiety attack. It is important to diagnose the condition at an early stage and seeking treatment should be your topmost priority. If left untreated, the condition can deteriorate into something worse.
The Nexus Of The Crisis
If you begin to have panic anxiety attacks more than twice a week you should contact your health care provider. After some lab tests (i.e. blood work, ECG) to rule out medical conditions he will then cover your past history, medical and personal, taking note of any traumatic events or exceedingly stressful situations in your lifetime to try and centre on the core problem from which all other problems are originated. Psychotherapy is very useful tool in keeping down anxiety or just talking to friends and loved ones that understand your situation.
