Anytime, Anywhere

A panic attack is one of the most intrusive problems you can have. If you a panic attack sufferer, you can have one in your car, at home, in public, anywhere.

Something Threatening Your Life

When you are facing a life threatening situation, you are experiencing an intense emotion, something between deep fear and panic.

Well, research has shown that this very same kind of fear is what you experience when you have a panic attack. It could be so similar that you could even feel as if you were dying.

These types of symptoms can last for anywhere from a few minute to a couple of hours.

This means that your mind is evaluating you are under attack and the so called “fight or flight” action is required.

Your Body’s Defense

Immediately your body takes into account your mind’s message, and will act accordingly: your heart rate will increase and you experience a chest tightening.

If nothing improves in a few seconds, then you could feel nauseated or dizzy and you could even faint.

Stressful Hereditary Conditions

Well, research has not yet understood the true nature of panic attacks. For sure there are two main sources:

1) Hereditary condition;

2) Stress or fear.

The quick check to understand your case is to answer a couple of simple questions:

1) Do you have any members in your family or parents or relatives that are panic attack sufferers?

2) Did your panic attack symptoms started or worsened heavily in a stressful situation or event?

In my opinion these two conditions define two completely different panic pathways: the first is about a physiological condition, the second is about a psychological one.

The Way To Go

In both cases professional assistance is the way to go.

If you suspect a hereditary condition, then looking for a physician is mandatory. He could help you to find an appropriate medication schedule and get some basic relief quickly.

If you suspect the cause is a stressful situation, then counselling is more appropriate. You could learn the probable cause of your panic attack and maybe develop a few strategies to handle oncoming attacks. If your symptoms are just caused by a “normal” stress, then learning to control what is causing you anxiety will be your way to improve.

You can find many remedies for you anxiety from conventional physicians and therapists. Simple approaches that can give you relief in both panic pathways are based on natural remedies.
