The symptoms of anxiety attacks are overwhelmingly frightening. They can occur without warning, and as they do they are hugely devastating for the unfortunate sufferer. Anxiety attacks — panic attacks — can leave the sufferer with a real idea that they are having heart failure, or, that they are about to die.
The symptoms of anxiety attacks, although very frightening, won’t harm you. These symptoms are just the body’s own normal reaction to the sufferer’s unfounded fears of some ‘impending doom’.
7 typical symptoms of anxiety attacks are:-
1. Feeling of tightness in the chest and throat.
2. Heart palpitations, pounding heart, irregular heartbeat.
3. Breathing irregularly, shortness of breath.
4. Dizziness, lightheadedness.
5. Feeling of being detached from reality, being disorientated.
6. Tingling sensation in fingers, feet etc.
7. And while you’re experiencing the physical symptoms shown above, you have a real feeling of ‘impending doom’.
(Note. Whilst these symptoms are some of the more usual symptoms of an anxiety attack, they can also be symptoms of other medical ailments. Always speak with your doctor or other medical professional, don’t self-diagnose.)
Now, although the attacks can occur out of nowhere, there has to be an underlying cause or ‘trigger’, which may have occurred several hours before the actual event. Stress or general anxiety is the basis upon which an attack is launched. Then all it takes is for something to trigger the actual attack.
And so we have two pieces of the puzzle here, the underlying general anxiety, and, the trigger that results an attack. Often times this trigger may be the fear of another attack itself, and you may have this fear without even realizing it.
No matter how hard you try to get rid of your general anxiety: as long as the fear of another attack is present, there’s nothing to prevent an attack striking again. It’s a vicious cycle.
Not only that but repeated attacks can have serious implications for your overall health and quality of life. You need to get rid of the fear of the symptoms of anxiety attacks , then, cure the general anxiety.
