Picture this, all of a sudden your heart beats rapidly in your chest, your short of breath, and you begin to sweat profusely for no reason at all.
Next, you start to feel completely removed from the situation, out of control, and fear that you may possibly die.
Are you going crazy? Actually, no, you've just experienced a few, of many, anxiety panic attack symptoms that thousands of people suffer through every day.
The only problem, is that this intense panic attack didn't even need to happen.
In fact, a lot more people have experienced these symptoms then you may think.
Nearly every human being, at one time or another, has been visited by the evils of a full-on panic attack.
Some may have only one, while others have them several times a day.
Either way, your still not crazy and you're not going to die from it.
Let's say you've just had your first panic attack, or, at least try to remember back to your first one.
Nonetheless, it's safe to assume that after this episode you never wanted to feel that way again.
Now, you find yourself obsessing about the experience and that fear becomes instilled in your mind.
Unfortunately, that overwhelming, unsubstantiated fear of having another panic attack is exactly what brings on the anxiety panic attack symptoms, and the next bout with anxiety begins again.
All of it governed by the fear.
The fear itself is what disables victims by robbing them of any quality of life.
Ultimately, this causes the individual to become introverted, removing themselves from any type of social or community interaction.
The fear instilled from that very first occurrence has falsely created the illusion that there is something to be afraid of.
Make no mistake, the panic attack is very real, but the fear usually is not.
I do have a medical background, so please allow me to briefly explain how it works.
First, there is a stimulus or fear, then in response to this stimulus, postganglionic neurons release a chemical called noradrenaline (norepinephrine).
Prolonged release then triggers the release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands (medulla).
Once released, noradrenaline and adrenaline bind with adrenergic receptors on peripheral (outer) tissues.
This binding to adrenergic receptors causes the effects seen in the fight-or-flight response.
Thus, causing anxiety panic attack symptoms including pupil dilation, increased sweating, increase heart rate, occasional vomiting and increased blood pressure.
In short, we all have this same system, and it's called the sympathetic nervous system.
The only variable is the fear.
Once the fear is controlled and you have a solid understanding that there is no apparent danger, the sequence of events leading to a panic attack no longer happens.
That said, one obvious tip for panic attack is not to fear one.
Another, is not to worry so much about finding the best anxiety attack panic treatment.
No other treatment is more effective than the natural power of your own mind.
Above all, facing the fear and disarming it, is the only way to guarantee your freedom from anxiety panic attack symptoms.
