Panic Away Review (behind-the-scenes!)

Let me describe to you today how dealing with panic attacks, and especially some of the physical symptoms of anxiety attacks, is important. I will also propose ways for you to better manage those physical symptoms, which should help you with getting rid of panic attacks.

Dealing with Panic Attacks – What Are The Symptoms

As you may have read in another article, panic attacks are sudden and intensely frightening experiences that can give you the feeling that you are going mad, losing control, or even that you have a heart attack and might die.  Dealing with panic attacks can therefore be a stressful experience. Some of the most common physical symptoms of panic attacks are: a pounding heart, chest pains, breathlessness, a choking feeling, dizziness, or a pounding head. There are more, but do you recognise those?

You will undoubtedly have heard of the fight-flight response, your body’s “internal alarm system”, when your body prepares itself to either fight or run from a threatening situation, e.g. when you hear a strange noise at night in your house. Dealing with panic attacks also depends on being aware of this fight-flight response.

Well, if this happens often you surely want to know about dealing with panic attacks effectively right? So what do you do in this scenario? You might need to run or fight so your muscles need more oxygen. You breathe faster, which can lead to breathlessness through over-breathing, or hyperventilation. This can cause dizziness, as well as a feeling of choking. Your heart beats and pumps faster to get the blood (with oxygen!) faster around your body. Your chest hurts as your chest muscles are tight, ready to fight if needed. Your head might be pounding too, as there is an increased pressure of blood flowing through your body for extra energy.

Can you see how many of those physical panic symptoms are in fact totally normal reactions of your internal alarm system? And they are necessary if there is a real threat to face. And there is one the key issues in panic attacks: the alarm system is very sensitive and goes off when there is no real threat, but just a hint (e.g. a thought) of it, like a hypersensitive smoke alarm.

Dealing With Panic Attacks – What To Do Next

For now, I would like to mention three things you can try and practice to help dealing with panic attacks more effectively. It should make it easier for you to cope with those physical panic symptoms as they develop.

1. Try above all to realize fully that these physical symptoms of anxiety attacks are normal and harmless.

2. Learn to relax. Relaxation can involve reading, or having a cup of tea etc. But this might not be enough to decrease muscle tension. Learn relaxation techniques, e.g. use relaxation tapes (step-by-step approach to relax all your muscles: ask your doctor), or try yoga. Less tension means less chance of panic.

3. Learn controlled breathing. Breathe in slowly, filling your lungs as if filling a bottle with water, counting “1…2…3…4″. Then breathe out through your nose, emptying the bottle as it were. Calmly. Practice this when feeling ok, and use it when the anxiety starts.

Now, to make a real  and lasting positive impact on your life and end the need to dealing with panic attacks forever, you should consider taking real action.
