Suffering from panic attacks is not something to be ashamed of yet somehow it causes sufferers embarrassment and makes them try to hide their conditions. Some others shrink from getting professional help when the symptoms arise, or feel awkward about discussing it to stranger. Or maybe they are afraid of unwanted reactions if they tell their friends and family. Consequently they try to treat anxiety attacks on their own.
And if you are one of them, I have just the solution you are looking for!
If you want to cure yourself on your own, you have to become a doctor of your condition. In other words, you need to get full knowledge of symptoms and causes of panic attacks.
The usual symptoms are:
* Shortness of breath or hyperventilation
* Racing heart
* Chest pain or discomfort
* Trembling or shaking
* Choking feeling
* Feeling unreal or detached from your surroundings
* Sweating
* Nausea or upset stomach
* Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or faint
* Numbness or tingling sensations
Some situations or activities may lead to a panic attack:
* Being far away from home
* Going anywhere without a close person's company
* Driving
* Places where it would be embarrassing to have a panic attack, such as a social gathering
* Eating or drinking anything that could possibly provoke panic (like alcohol, caffeine, drug..)
Knowing those information could help you reduce the frequency of having attacks by avoiding what may trigger them and be prepared when they strike you. But now if you want to get rid of them forever, you need to take the next step immediately!
