The more you understand panic attacks the better prepared you will be to over coming panic attacks.
Therefore what are the most common physical symptoms that may happen to you during a panic attack. You’ll begin to breathe more rapidly; your heart beat will speed up. You’ll experience chest pain and maybe some dizziness and numbness. You will start to sweat and go through the motion of hot and cold sweats.
So what could be behind the worry of a panic attack. It’s typically a concern of dying or some impending catastrophe. It’s always some type of dread or doom scenario or feeling. These feelings are caused as a result of a physical reaction that’s occurring in your body.
Adrenaline is the cause of this, our body’s naturally go into the flight or fight syndrome because of the amount of adrenaline that’s being pumped around our body. Adrenaline offers our bodies the false feeling of danger therefore we react to that false sense of danger by going into a “Fight or Flight” scenario, which in turn can cause a panic attack.
We could help ourselves to over coming panic attacks by watching our diet. Try to keep your caffeine levels low. I used to drink a lot of tea, coffee and coke. This amount of caffeine caused my heart to have palpitations. Having palpitations used to send me into a panic attack and because my heart was pumping so hard i thought i was going to die from a heart attack. Thus I cut out coffee and coke. It really helped my palpitations, that in turn cut down my panic attacks.
For me the best approach to over coming panic attacks was when I really believed that it was my thoughts that caused the panic attacks. I had been told that it was my thoughts that where inflicting my anxiety and panics. However I struggled with that for years and years. The concept that I used to be inflicting my very own living hell was very hard for me to understand. However I took small steps to intercept my thought patterns. Because we do have automatic thought patterns that run when we start to go into a panic attack that feed the panic.
So start to watch your thoughts when you start to go into a panic attack, the more conscious of your thoughts you are the more equipped you are to over coming panic attacks.
