About Panic Attacks
One of the unfortunate outcomes from suffering from excessive stress and anxiety is a physical reaction of your body to the situation. ItÕs like your body is telling you that you need to rest for a moment. Except when youÕre having a panic attack, itÕs anything BUT restful.
letÕs look at the signs that you might be having a panic attack. The following list gives tell-tale warning signs of an oncoming panic attack.
Palpitations
A pounding heart, or an accelerated heart rate
Sweating
Trembling or shaking
Shortness of breath
A choking sensation
Chest pain or discomfort
Nausea or stomach cramps
De-realization (a feeling of unreality)
Fear of losing control or going crazy
Fear of dying
Numbness or a tingling sensation in your face and limbs
Chills or hot flashes
You would be surprised at how many people go to the hospital emergency room completely sure that theyÕre having a heart attack only to find out that itÕs a panic attack. TheyÕre that intense!
ItÕs very difficult for your loved ones to imagine or even understand what you are going through when you have a panic attack. They may lose patience with you, tell you to Òget over itÓ, or think youÕre faking.
The particular situations that trigger your panic and anxiety may differ. Maybe the bodily sensations are a little different. WhatÕs important to realize is that panic attacks are very real to the people who are having them and they should never be pushed off to the side.
Even when you think youÕre in no danger of having a panic attack, your brain might be feeling differently. ThatÕs the scary part. The good part is that there are ways you can combat panic attacks and cope much better when you find yourself in that situation.
