Panic Attack Relief - How you can take back control of your life
I am an individual who, during a period in my life
, experienced frequent panic attacks. I can tell you, first-hand, the debilitating effect that these attacks can have on both your mind and body. As you begin reading this article, you may be the individual who is experiencing this disorder presently in your life. They can be very frightening experiences. Undoubtedly, you are seeking some sort of cure, am I right? As far as long term panic attack relief, there are methods available to help you take back control of your life.
Treatment cures for the long term relief of panic attacks do not come through prescription medication, or pills. Anti-depressant or anti-anxiety pills only work for the short term in relieving some of the symptoms of panic attacks. Prescription medication however does absolutely nothing in preventing any future panic attacks. Nor, will any pills stop these attacks from occurring once you stop taking the medication. The symptoms for your panic attacks could be related to other serious health problems that are causing you anxiety and stress. You need to take the following suggestions, recommended by qualified medical and scientific experts who devote their careers to this field.
Suggestion #1 Consult your physician immediately. He/she will perform an examination in helping him/her with the diagnosis. As I mentioned above, you want a doctor to be able to rule out any medical conditions that might actually not be the panic attacks or an anxiety disorder. You cannot make this diagnosis on your own. Yes, you do need to be pro-active. Doing absolutely nothing would be the worst thing that you could possibly do. But, if your medical problem is something else, let your physician do his/her job. If necessary after the doctor has come up with a diagnosis of your condition, get a second opinion.
The following three suggestions would deal with the possible situation of your actually being diagnosed in having a disorder related to repeat panic attacks or anxiety, acknowledged by your physician following an examination.
Suggestion #2 An individual who experiences panic attacks does so because he/she can no longer control the thoughts evolving from his/her brain. You should realize one very important factor, which is a part of this particular suggestion. The attack itself is not a walking, talking human life form. What has happened is that in your mind, you have made these attacks out to be something that lives and breathes. The attack itself is not caused by real events, only imaginary fear. It is the fear itself which causes the attacks. Because this fear first evolves in your mind, you can learn to eventually take back control of your thoughts. If you are able to gain control of your thoughts, then any future attacks will simply not occur. It does take practice, time, and knowing the right techniques, however, which will allow you to once again control your thoughts.
Suggestion #3 In your mind, you have to be able to distinguish the possible from the impossible. It is impossible to control certain events in your life, such as: death, trauma, things that could happen to family members and most importantly the future. You must train your mind to accept that there will always be some things in your life to which you have absolutely no control over. There is a wise old saying: You are never promised tomorrow. If you cannot control what happens tomorrow, next week, or next year then why should you spend your entire thought process worrying about it? Personally, that used to always be my problem. A relative of mine who knew of my obsession about the future used to tell me, Why worry about what could happen two weeks from now when, in reality none of us are guaranteed to be here tomorrow? A very wise statement if you think about.
Suggestion #4 Confront your panic attacks head on. Your first step in doing so was the suggestion made in #1, above. Schedule an appointment with your physician. He/she will do an examination to rule out any other existing medical conditions. If your doctor diagnosis your problems as being a disorder involving panic attacks relax, know that he/she will work with you. A qualified doctor who then might not feel that he/she is an expert with this disorder would then recommend that you see an individual in the field of medicine, (who could be a psychiatrist) who would then do his/her best to provide treatment for you.
Experts in the field for treatment of panic attacks all realize now that prescription medication provides only short term solutions. The medical expert who would work with you wants to come up with a long term solution to your problem. Most likely, he/she will get to the root cause by finding out the triggers, (causes) that lead to your attacks. From there, they will suggest behavior modification exercises, or even a change in your life style, and diet to aid in eventually eliminating these attacks permanently. Just realize that it will take time and effort on your part once this medical expert has made his/her suggestions.
Panic attack relief is available to the individual who suffers from this disorder. Initially, it would be up to you to take that all important first step. Be willing to do something about your condition. Do not accept that this disorder will be with you for the rest of your life.
