Panic anxiety attacks are a phenomenon that occurs when a person cannot control their emotions to the point of being incapacitated. Their mental state is so agitated that they cannot function in a normal manner. The onset of an attack presents swiftly and without warning in persons who are early in their 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: * Faster heart rate and palpitations *Giddiness; the victim feels as if he's about to blackout *Quivering * A dizzy feeling; the victim's constitution is weak and he feels as if he's about to faint * Trembling * Tingling in the extremities * A detached feeling from either oneself or the environment around them *Chills or hot flashes * A sense of detachment from oneself or from the rest of the world *A fear of losing control * A fear of dying What Is The Cause? Panic anxiety attacks are brought on by feelings that one's situation has become so dire that there is no way out, in fact severe episodes have the sufferer believing that they will surely not survive, they are convinced that they will die on the spot. As you can imagine, such overwhelming feelings tend to intensify a situation already spiralling out of control. Emotional states that are plagued with grief or depression are predisposed for anxiety attacks as well as medical conditions such as thyroid disorder, chemical imbalance and low blood sugar. Introduction of outside factors such as caffeine, nicotine, antihistamines, alcohol and amphetamines may not induce an attack on their own, but they do increase your chances of developing an attack due to the action of their stimulating nature. The object is to eliminate all stimuli as it relates to the disorder. Panic anxiety attacks are a symptom of all mood disorders, just as the mood disorder itself is a symptom of some greater cause that has yet to be revealed, but it doesn't end there. Even if you decide that some object, such as cats, are triggering your attacks it is then necessary to delve further and deuce why cats are so fearful and then attempt to identify the reasons for that specific fear. Eliminating the underlying causes and fighting off all your fears are the best ways of preventing an anxiety attack. Early diagnosis is vital and so is prompt treatment, otherwise the condition will worsen and the repercussions will become serious. The Nexus Of The Crisis If you are beginning to experience panic anxiety attacks more frequently, it is time to seek professional help. Two times a week is enough cause for you to take the matter more seriously. Your health care provider will conduct some lab tests such as blood work and ECG to determine your medical condition. It is also likely that he will go through your medical history, taking note of any recent troubling incidents or stressful situations in your life. This will allow him to zero in on the core of the problem. Psychotherapy is just as important in your course of treatment and you should seek solace in your friends or loved ones who care greatly about you.
