Symptoms, Signs, And Triggers Of Anxiety Attacks

by Edward Alexander Crowley

An anxiousness attack is a short period of overwhelming fear that comes on with no warning and for no sane reason. A panic attack can be a one off event, but most often is a continuing problem. People who experience regular nervous attacks ( 2 or more fear attacks a month ) should go to a doctor. It's very likely that those who experience that many anxiety attacks have a nervousness or panic disorder. A panic episode is also often called a panic attack.

Regular panic attacks can stop the individual that experiences them from living a standard, happy life. Any one of any adult age, from both genders, and of all races and industrial backgrounds can have an anxiety attack.

Doctors and carers have no idea for sure what brings on a panic attack. But research has demonstrated that there are some medical issues and medicines that may possibly cause a panic episode. Anxiety attack triggers include withdrawing from alcohol or illegal drugs, a fear of having another anxiety episode, or heredity reasons.

An foreboding attack can bring on feelings of loneliness and a sense of being out-of-touch with other people. There are more emotional and physical symptoms related to a panic episode, but the main symptom is acute fear. Some of the physical symptoms that may appear with an anxiety attack can feel a bit like the symptoms of a serious health problem, like a heart attack.

The physical and emotional signs and evidence of a panic episode barely last longer than thirty mins. The best symptoms of a panic episode customarily top within ten minutes. There have been a few rare cases where signs of an anxiety attack have lasted for hours.

Even though the emotional and physical signs and indications of a panic episode might last only minutes, the mental symptoms can last much longer.

Those who experience anxiety attacks never know when a panic episode will hit them. An individual may have an anxiety attack once every week. Or a person may have a chain of panic attacks followed by months and months of no anxiety attacks.

This uncertainty joined with the actual physical and emotional signs of an anxiety attack makes life extraordinarily challenging for those that have nervous attacks. Some folk become so afraid of a panic episode coming at a tasteless moment that they are afraid to leave their homes. This fear is sometimes called agoraphobia.

The literal definition of agoraphobia is a fear of open spaces. This definition is commonly misleading and confusing, particularly when used in reference to fear attacks. People experience uneasiness attacks in all eventualities and statistically very few experience panic attacks in open spaces.

Agoraphobia often starts when an individual experiences an anxiety episode in a specific situation. Even after a diagnosis is created and treatment starts, the person often convinces him or herself the situation that brought about an out-of-the-blue panic attack will cause numerous future anxiety attacks. So, naturally, the person avoids that situation.

Anxiety attack causing agoraphobia is 2 times more common in ladies than men. Well-known American celebs who have admitted to experiencing agoraphobia related panic episodes include Kim Basinger and Barbara Streisand.
