The Causes of Anxiety and Panic Attacks!
An anxiety attack or full panic attack can
occur at any time with no warning. There will be no
obvious reason, no stressful situation, and no indicator
that an anxiety or panic attack might be impending. That’s
the strange thing about anxiety and panic attacks. So
what are the causes of anxiety and panic attacks?
Sometimes your mind can play tricks on you, you think you’re
in no danger, however your brain might be feeling
differently. That’s the scary part. The good part
is that there are ways you can combat anxiety and panic attacks
and cope much better when you find yourself under attack from
within yourself, from both your mind and body.
The Causes of Anxiety and Panic Attacks!
I would love to say that reading this article will address
all the issues on this subject and provide the definitive cure
you seek. It won’t, but it will provide a number of answers to
many questions, those suffering from Anxiety Stress and Panic
Attacks seek.
A panic attack is one of the most stressful situations that
any sufferer can undergo. It can come out of nowhere or be
triggered by an extended period of anxiety or stress. The
strange point being, that in a lot of circumstances the panic
attack will occur at the most inappropriate time and over what
will seem a trivial point or issue
The key causes of Anxiety and Panic attacks are attributed
to a stressful life style or anxiety over something. The body
needs time to adjust to the environment around it, to new
situations at work or within our family lifestyle. Anything
that is outside the norm, or that increases pressure on us, has
a reaction. We either accept the situation or we begin to
stress about it, either openly or in our sub conscious. The sub
conscious stress and anxiety is the bigger concern, for the
symptoms can go unseen until it is to late and a full panic
attack brings us to our knees
New work requirements are a key trigger to for anxiety,
because we seek to perform the new task well and to try and not
let down our colleagues. This anxiety often leads to stress as
we work harder & longer to achieve the desired
outcomes.
There is no doubting the impact on your body. Typical physical
reactions to the onset of a panic attack are beyond the normal
senses of your body telling you to take a break or to rest a
while. So, let’s 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
- Numbness or a tingling sensation in your face and
limbs
- Chills or hot flushes
Unfortunately the physical reaction of your body, when it is
suffering from the effects of excessive stress and anxiety, is
difficult to understand. Most people misunderstand the signals
that the body is giving out. It is common to think its
something you ate, or perhaps didn’t take the time to eat, that
is causing the uneasy feeling your body is reporting. You try
to relax, try to catch your breath, adopt a restful attitude.
Except when you’re having a panic attack, it’s anything BUT
restful because the uneasy feeling just builds and builds
swamping all your senses and places you in the fight or flight
mode.
You usually begin to feel a bit “off” colour, have trouble
breathing, your body feels disconnected and your heart beat
increases to what seemed like 90 miles an hour. You can’t catch
your breath. It starts to feel like your dying. Your mind
starts thinking what’s happening to me? but gets no logical
answer, so the symptoms increase due to your anxiety over the
way you feel.
You would be surprised at how many people go to the hospital
emergency room completely convinced that they’re having a heart
attack only to find out that it’s a panic
attack. Their that intense!
It’s difficult enough for you to understand, but what of
those around you that love and care about you. They don’t feel
what your feeling and cannot even begin to imagine or even
understand what you are going through when you have a full on
panic attack. They may lose patience with you, tell you to “get
over it”, or think you’re faking it. This is commonly the
cruelest aspect of a panic attack, the lack of consideration
about how you feel and the actual debilitating impact of a
panic attack on you.
It is very important that you speak openly with loved ones
and key friends about your condition. Your children must be
included in the discussions, even though the first thought is
to spare them. If they have a concept of your illness then it
is less frighting if they are present during a major
attack.
As you get to know the trigger points to your attacks, and
you will find a lot of them. Discuss them openly with those you
have spoken too, so where possible you can all avoid letting
then occur. Openness is a major key to the fight in gaining the
upper hand on this issue. A lot of people do get over the
problem through medication or mind control, but most learn
their own specific control methods that they need to apply.
