Panic Attacks Symptoms
November 5th, 2009
Panic attacks are one of the most devastating and less understood problems faced by numerous people today. They are the cause of a lot of spoilt relations, frustration and depression. Panic attacks initially trigger from an apprehensive feeling which grows with time resulting in an attack of panic. It is really intense and happens suddenly without any particular reason. Once such an attack is experienced it keeps coming back. The attacks range from milder attacks like anxiety attacks to graver ones like panic attacks that have physical symptoms as well. To control, deal with and get rid of such attacks in the early stages one must take notice of the early symptoms. A few such panic attacks symptoms are:
- Feeling dizzy and hot
- Heavy Perspiration
- Nauseated feeling
- Pain in the chest with an increased heart rate
- Breath shortness
- Hyperventilation on its full scale
- Trembling and shaking
- Feeling cold and choked
When four or more of these symptoms are noticed it is considered to be a full – fledged panic attack and with less than four panic attacks symptoms it is considered a more limited sort of an attack which can be dealt with easily. These attacks usually last for ten minutes and sometimes even less. But, it seems like ages for the sufferer making him/her exhausted mentally and drained of all energy physically. The symptoms of a severe attack are continuous range of attacks with one symptom not completely diminishing before the next attack begins.
Panic attacks are treatable and can be cured. It isn’t always easy but it is definitely possible to live a panic free life.
