Panic Attack Symptoms

How Do You Know If You Are Suffering From Panic Attacks?

Maybe you are out walking your dog and the neighbors barking
dog slams itself into the fence again. You start to feel your
heart race. Within moments your hands are sweating, your
breathing becomes short and rapid, and you feel overwhelmed
or fearful.

What happened to you? You most likely are suffering from a
panic attack.

WHAT ARE PANIC ATTACKS?

Panic is a physical reaction that comes in response to stress.
Often it is called the 'fight or flight' response. It is
actually your body's cue to get out of harm's way.

The following symptoms are some of the common ones during
a panic attack:

- fast heartbeat

- shortness of breath or feel like you cannot breath

- dizziness or even nausea

- sweating, shaking, feeling week or trembling

- a sense of fear or dread

- thinking you are going to die or must be/going to go crazy

There are a number of self help therapies to assist you to
get a handle on your panic attacks. It is best to start right
away, as they often escalate and if you give into them can
really narrow down what you feel you can and cannot do.

An alternative therapy that you can do yourself, without having to
go to a therapist or councelor is found by clicking here.

Work with that for two months on a regular basis and notice the
difference it makes for your panic attacks.
