Stop Anxiety And Panic Attacks

By Adrian Logan

Learning to stop anxiety and panic attacks isn't difficult, but they can be very difficult to conquer on their own, without any guidance. Here is how I learned to stop these attacks forever.

If your chest feel heavy and it is difficult to breath, like there was not enough oxygen in the air, it is the initial symptoms for a panic attack. The two biggest side effects of panic attacks I found out a few weeks later are the perception of breathing difficulties, along with an elevated and even painful heart rate

* To stop these panic attacks you have to realize that these attacks are nothing more and nothing less than your body reacting to stress in your life, which activates the biological fight-or-flight reaction.These episodes do not harm your body or pose any danger to you as there is no physical cause.

* You might think you're having a heart attack, or your lungs aren't working properly, or you are sick as you might not even realize at first that you're having a panic episode. All of these feelings are physical manifestations of problems that are actually entirely internal. Tell yourself that you are fine and these attacks don't kill anyone. By thinking that this attack will pass, it will assist you to get throught it.

* Next you should try to find out the cause. Ask yourself these questions. Did you have panic episodes like this a year ago? What about six months ago? What changed? If you can't think of any significant, stressful differences in your life, think back a month at a time. Shortlist a list of possibilities. It could be a combination of all those small possibilities.

* Your panic attacks might not be even caused by extremely recent concerns - they might be resulting from an elevation of problems or anxiety that had been building up over months or years and finally reached "critical mass", or they might be symptoms of a slowly-growing mental affliction, like generalized anxiety disorder or depression, that your body was not able to sustain anymore without going "overboard."

* Finally if you want to cure your panic attacks yourself, the key for self treatment is to convince yourself that what you're experiencing are panic attacks and not something seriously wrong with your body. It may take a few doctor's examinations before you believe that. I personally required two visits to the doctor.
