Panic attack disorders are always caused by an overabundance of anxiety.
Anxiety is a natural human reaction to certain types of stimuli.
Most people think that when they experience anxiety, that it's a bad thing.
It isn't...
Anxiety has helped humans survive on this planet as long as they have.
Think about what alerts you to danger.
Imagine if you saw someone running at you with a knife and you were incapable of being scared about the situation you were in! If humans didn't have the fight or flight instinct to rev our bodies up and run away or fight, we would never survive.
The problem is when in this modern age people start to mistake stress as anxiety.
Your body cannot tell the two apart.
When your body and mind is under constant stress you may start to develop panic attack disorders.
These feelings can really weigh a person down ad eventually it starts to snowball and people start to have attacks that interfere with their everyday life.
Panic attack disorders can start as feelings of fear or uncomfortableness and can grow until they really interfere with your life.
Some severe cases of anxiety lead people to be terrified of leaving their house.
When symptoms get this bad, they can really interfere with your life.
When you suffer from a panic attack disorder you will probably be familiar with one or more of these symptoms.
The most common symptoms are palpitations and an increase in heart rate.
People often experience chest pains and find breathing to be difficult.
These symptoms usually scare people and start to freak them out a little bit...
This starts a vicious cycle that just leads to more fear and symptoms.
People will often feel dizzy, nauseous, cold, scared and disoriented.
These symptoms all stem from the original anxiety, and they are just keep building up and getting worse.
The best thing about panic attack disorders is that they are easily treatable.
Most doctors will prescribe you some sort of medication.
But if you are like me you hate the "drugged" feeling that they give you, and you don't want to end up addicted to these pills.
Panic attacks usually only last a few minutes...
But to those who are suffering from a panic attack disorder, this can feel like ages.
The best way to stop them in my opinion is to learn to modify your behavior so you can beat panic attacks once and for all!
