Natural Panic Attack Cures

SYMPTOMS OF A PANIC ATTACK

Panic attacks are described as sudden episodes of intense apprehension, fear, or terror. These attacks are unpredictable because the victim is repressing the cause.

A panic attack includes many physical, mental, emotional, and perceptual symptoms.

Some of the physical symptoms of a panic attack include adrenalin rush, heart pounding, nausea, chest and stomach pains, feeling of smothering or choking, numbness about the hands, face, or feet, trembling, claustrophobia sensation, limpness, dizziness, sweating, crying, and others.

Several of the mental symptoms of a panic attack encompass: No logical reaction to influences, the mind races, extreme worrying and nervous feeling, feeling as if no one wants to associate with you, speaking unusually loudly, overexcitement, sense of irritation by anyone around you, and unclear vision.

In addition to mental symptoms of a panic attack, there are also several emotional symptoms. These include fear of an incurable or serious medical problem, fear of death, fear of life, fear of insanity, fear that a horrible event is about to happen, and episodes of remembering an object or situation that early triggered fear.

There are also perceptual symptoms of a panic attack. These symptoms include narrowing or tunnel vision, becoming abundantly more aware of your environment, loss of sense of time—it seems as though it is moving too slow or too fast, distortion as if one is in a dream world, and sense that you are no longer in control of yourself (like a puppet on a string).

Symptoms of a panic attack can be a repeated process. Whenever a person has multiple panic attacks, they are usually diagnosed with panic disorder. These repeated panic attacks are sometimes spontaneous rather than instigated by any type of stimuli. This disorder is most often treated by behavior therapy, or the same drugs used for depression or anxiety. Another known treatment for a panic attack can be breathing into a paper bag—Only do this if a doctor recommends it and explains how to do it. Otherwise, it can be dangerous and even deadly if done the wrong way.

There are some drugs (benzodiazepines) which are impressive in treating panic attacks. However, these drigs are very addictive.

Although when an individual experiences symptoms of a panic attack, they need to seek a doctor’s advice, there are some techniques that people can try themselves. One such treatment is abdominal breathing (taking slow deep breaths through the nose). Other effective techniques include: Not pondering on what will happen, but living in the “here and now”, accepting the fact that you suffer with panic attacks, and learning to cope by talking yourself into a certain state (assuring yourself that you can deal with the problem). Also it can help to talk with a close friend about it, and sometimes it helps to just step outside or into a quiet room for a few minutes,  It may take a little time, but you can bring these symptoms of a panic attack to a halt or at least make them subside significantly.
