The cause of
panic and anxiety attacks relate to the functioning of the brain. More specifically, these attacks are caused by the Amygdala’s reaction to anxiety provoking situations or thoughts. A person can be diagnosed with three types of panic attacks; namely, spontaneous panic attacks, specific panic attacks and situational predisposed panic attacks. A myth that has existed for many years surrounding
panic and anxiety attacks is that it is a mental illness where in actuality, these attacks are frequently behavioral conditions with specific symptoms.

Persons suffering from panic and anxiety disorder may experience symptoms such as shaking, sweating, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness and hot flushes to name but a few. A common statement by panic attack sufferers is that they feel like they’re dying or suffering a heart attack. Naturally, these symptoms may occur with many other ailments and are not necessarily related to
panic and anxiety disorders, therefore treatment and diagnosis from a specialist is therefore of great importance should you be worried that you may be suffering from
panic and anxiety disorders.

Panic and anxiety attacks are not necessarily both experienced at the same time. In other words, some people may suffer from anxiety attacks and never experience a panic disorder. When suffering from spontaneous panic attacks, they can strike at any time or in any situation. For example, these forms of panic attacks may occur while one is asleep or even during the day while at work. They are unpredictable and can cause a lot of stress for the person whom is experiencing the attack.

The second form of panic attacks, namely, specific panic attacks, are caused when a person is confronted with an anxiety provoking circumstance that he or she has experienced before or that relates to a previously anxiety experienced situation. Situational predisposed panic attacks relate to having a panic attack in a particular situation or in a particular place, for example, some people will only experience panic attacks while doing their weekly grocery shopping. This does not necessarily mean that they have a fear for the activity; it simply means that they are predisposed to experience panic attacks in that particular location.

Persons who suffer from
panic and anxiety attacks tend to suffer from fatigue and may experience aches and pains in various muscles of their body. When a person suffers from anxiety, the most common places for muscle pain are in the areas of the neck, shoulders and chest area. When a person’s muscles ache, it leads to tension within the given area. For example, a person suffering muscle tension in the chest area may experience
shortness of breath, persons experiencing tension in the shoulder and neck area may experience migraines and headaches through the restrictions caused by the blood vessels.

Therefore, before treating the symptom it is important to know the source, what is causing the specific ache and pain. Various treatments for
anxiety and panic attacks are available; they range from natural home remedies to prescribed medication. The advantage of these attacks is that they can be treated and cured permanently.

If you are currently suffering from anxiety and

panic attacks, you know that attacks can occur out of the blue. One minute you feel fine and the next you feel that your whole world is spinning out of control, and you have absolutely no idea why this is happening. You do not feel stressed, you are not worried and heck, you are not even feeling anxious. So why is this happening to you again and again?

Panic attacks that happened

out of the blue do occur. And you may be glad to know that there is always a reason for these sudden panic attacks. So how on earth do you handle and control a panic attack that you are not prepared for? Let me shed some light here.

Stay Calm. Relax

Yes. To handle such panic attacks, first you got to stay calm. The more you fear, the worse the panic attack will become. Just remember that

panic attacks cannot and will not hurt you. These attacks simply make you feel uncomfortable and although frightening, the symptoms are actually normal reaction that your body responds during

panic attacks. If you resist the symptoms, your body will amplify these symptoms and make it worse. Just remember that it would end eventually.

Proper

breathing technique goes hand in hand with staying calm. These two are major factors in dealing with

panic attacks. So how do you use

breathing technique to control and handle

panic attacks?

1. First place your hand on your stomach.
2. Slowly, with each inhale through the nose, you should feel your hand pushing out.
3. Now, again slowly exhale, through your mouth, you should feel you hand pushing into your stomach. Think of it like your hand pushing the air out of your body.
4. Repeat this until the symptoms of goes away.

However it is important to note that, this way of breathing is pretty uncomfortable to some. So instead of using this technique during the attacks, practice this technique while you can. This can be easily done while standing or sitting, although lying down on the bed is the best way to practice. However, once you are proficient in this technique, you can start practicing while you work in your office or walking to your favorite eating place. Practice makes perfect.

Let Panic Attack Runs Its Own Course

It is important to understand that during

panic attacks, do not figure out what caused it. Because if you do, you are doing more harm than good and causing more symptoms to compound. Let the attack runs it course and apply the

breathing technique.
If you are hit by a course of panic attack when you are in a crowd, excuse yourself and find yourself a place where you can be alone. A little tip here. The bathroom is an excellent place to be in. Find a clean one and sit there. Remember to remain calm and apply the breathing technique.

Out of the blue

panic attacks can happen and will happen. How you react to them will determine how long these

panic attacks will last and how severe they will be. Take control of the attacks, stay calm and apply your

breathing technique and let the attacks run its own course. Work through it and you will start to feel your body relaxing, only if you allow it to.
