Cure-For-Panic-Attacks101

Panic attack is different from other anxiety disorders because of its sudden intensity and its occurrence in individuals.

Often panic attacks are psychological conditions but may not be a sign of a mental disorder.

Even in "normal" individuals a panic attack may occur at any time, but particularly in persons with anxiety and phobias.

Common symptoms include trembling, palpitations, and shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, dizziness, hyperventilation and tingling sensations. Others develop a sense of being choked or smothered. A sense of impending doom.

The various symptoms of a panic attack are often mistaken as a cardiac attack or a life-threatening medical illness. This misconception often increases the incidence of future panic attacks.

Heart attacks are medical emergencies that can be fatal, while panic attacks are generally not. Panic attacks are certainly taxing on the system over time, but their is no inherent danger for most panic attack sufferers. This is no reason to let them continue to interfere with your life.
