Cures For Panic Attacks

n' feels like an unachievable feat. A person can live a life without such extreme fear of having unexpected anxiety attacks.

Many people are nervous about speaking in public or flying in an airplane. A panic disorder can strike prior to one of these events or due to fear that something bad may happen, often an experience similar to what a person has had before. There are three main categories of panic attacks: spontaneous, which occurs seemingly out of the blue. Specific panic attacks apply to a certain experience such as a fear of heights or public speaking and situational panic attacks often affect those who suffer from agoraphobia, a fear of open spaces. Those who struggle with claustrophobia may suffer from a situational panic attack when in an enclosed area, such as a small room.

Cures for panic attacks may seem impossible because the effects are physical as well as psychological. Some symptoms include shortness of breath, racing heart, sweating, dizziness, chest pains and stomach cramps. Sometimes the physical disturbances can be so severe one may feel like he is having heart problems. If this is the case, a person should see a doctor or hospital immediately if they are unsure as to the cause of the discomfort in the body. Due to the possible severity of the physical symptoms, a person should not dismiss them all as stress or anxiety related. If there is any doubt or prolonged physical trouble a person should see a doctor quickly. High stress and anxiety can manifest itself in numerous ways in the body.

The worry of an anxiety incident happening again may cause such stress that the anxiousness is about the fear of another occurrence not an actual event or situation. Concern over how a person will handle the stress and anxiety should extreme stress occur begins to outweigh the desire to confront the situation and try again. For example, if a previous incident occurred in an elevator a person may not even try to ride in an elevator again not because they are fearful of the elevator but more the ability to control the physical and emotional symptoms of the anxiety disorder. Such stressful feelings make it feel as if curing panic attacks are not possible.

These kind of stress or anxiety disorders can range from mild to debilitating causing depression or other difficulties. The concern over experiencing such discomfort may limit a person's desire to go places for fear of suffering from the unpleasant symptoms of the disorder. Most episodes last no more than 20 minutes, but can feel much longer. Afterwards, a person is often very exhausted from the experience due to the physical stress put on the body. During the disorder, the body's fight or flight response kicks in causing adrenaline to pump through the body and the heart to race. By the time a person calms down it is as if he or she has run a marathon and feels worn out mentally and physically.

When seeking cures for panic attacks, one's way of life should also be considered. An excess of caffeine or the use of certain medications may contribute to the anxiety. People who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD may struggle with anxiety attacks as well. Many people have experienced an anxiety attack at least one time in their life during a stressful period or before a high pressure situation. Curing panic attacks is not an easy one-step process. Cures for panic attacks include counseling and medications. Common prescriptions include Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Xanax or Valium. The medication will hopefully help a person to feel calmer and less prone to high anxiety. Medicine in combination with counseling to help address the fear can help to overcoming and curing panic attacks. Not all medicine works the same for everyone, so it is important to be patient. If the prescribed dosage or type of medication doesn't work, a person should discuss other options with a medical doctor.

Curing panic attacks can be viewed like other health difficulties. When a person doesn't take of oneself a busy schedule and unexpected situations cause higher stress levels. In a world of multi-tasking, trying to juggle too many deadlines and commitments creates stress and a weakened ability to face daily life frustrations and fears. Eating right, getting enough sleep and keeping commitments to a reasonable level will help in making a person feel calmer and stronger when stressful situations do arise. In the Bible it states, "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. (Matthew 6:34) As with many difficulties one faces in life, it is often best to take it one step at a time. Taking medications and or attending a counselor won't cure panic attacks in a day, a week or even a month, but by asking for help, being determined and keeping a strong faith in God the disorder can be managed.
