Cures Panic Attacks

An anxiety attack, sometimes referred to as a panic attack, can be a very terrifying experience. The symptoms of anxiety attacks can be very confusing as usually the person has no idea as to why their body is reacting in the manner it is.


If you have experienced some of these unusual symptoms (below) while experiencing anxiety let me help you to understand it better and try and put your mind at ease.

Firstly, anxiety attacks are very treatable. It is very important that you speak with your doctor if you are experiencing these anxiety attack symptoms in order to receive an accurate diagnosis. Getting your anxiety symptoms investigated after you first experience them will help reassure you that nothing more serious might be wrong.

So what are the typical anxiety attack symptoms?
The most common symptoms of anxiety attacks are: palpitations, pounding heart or an accelerated heart rate, sweating, trembling or shaking, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms may include a choking sensation, chest pain or discomfort, nausea or stomach cramps, a feeling of being dizzy, unsteadiness, and lightheadedness or feeling faint.
Sufferers might also experience a sense of unreality, depersonalization (a feeling of being detached from oneself), fear of losing control or going crazy, fear of dying, numbness or a tingling sensation, chills or hot flashes.

These are some of the possible symptoms of a anxiety attack but what does it actually feel like to experience one?
Usually an anxiety attack begins with an unusual bodily sensation from the list above. The person then reacts with fear that the symptoms are indicators of a much more serious threat and in turn reacts with more fear which escalates into a state of heightened anxiety. A vicious cycle of anxiety and fear can begin.

Typical situations people report having an anxiety attack are: while driving, in airplanes, in crowded areas, and at night while sleeping.

Often anxiety attacks occur in a situation where the person feels they cannot exit easily from a meeting or social outing with others. Many can also experience an anxiety attack for no apparent reason while at home or in the middle of sleep.

People who first experience these symptoms often feel a sense of foreboding. They might think that there is something terribly wrong with their health. This is understandable as anyone who has experienced an anxiety attack can tell you how unusual the bodily sensations are.

What initially may have been a once off out of the blue anxiety attack can develop into a perpetual cycle of fear and anxiety if not treated. This cycle can last from weeks to years depending on how much help the person receives.

I want to point out that anxiety attacks are not a mental illness. The great news is that this disorder is very treatable. You do not have to fear you will spend your life living with this condition.

More often than not, the symptoms of anxiety attacks cause people to worry that there is some larger problem lurking behind the unusual sensations. If you have experienced anxiety attack symptoms, do not convince yourself that you have a clinical illness. Most likely you do not.

Experiencing anxiety attacks and their associated symptoms does not mean that you have a physical or mental illness. Your brain is fine; your body is fine. You can return to a more relaxed level of living if you follow the steps and psychological techniques I am going to outline for on this site.

Learn to trust is your body. Yes, it may be experiencing a wide range of strange anxiety attack symptoms but it is well able to handle this. During an anxiety attack many of the symptoms are similar to those of a really good workout: increased heartbeat rate, sweating, increased bodily sensations and rapid breathing.

You do not become fearful of these symptoms while exercising and therefore you should not fear them should they be present while experiencing anxiety. The fuel that really drives the anxiety symptoms is anxious thinking. The “what if” thoughts that appear during an anxiety attack create the powerful drive that fuels the anxiety much longer than it would normally last.

What if I have a heart attack? What if my mind loses control? What if I do something crazy or faint?
What if I cannot get out of here?

In order to extinguish the fuel that drives the anxiety attack we need to eliminate these anxious thoughts. Tackling anxious thinking effectively requires a two-pronged approach.
To eliminate the negative thinking patterns there needs to be a shift in attitude along with specific visualization tools.
