Anxiety Panic Attack Symptoms
Strike with Crippling Force
Anxiety panic attack symptoms often strike "out of the blue"
and for no particular reason.
Frank found this out the hard way when he left work to have lunch in the park on a beautiful spring day. He was sitting on the park bench enjoying his surroundings when he was suddenly gripped by feelings of intense fear and an overwhelming sense of doom. The anxiety panic attack symptoms left him feeling that he was spinning out of control.
Frank is among the millions of Americans who suffer from panic attacks. The attacks seem random and unwarranted and the sufferer lives in constant fear of the next attack. The symptoms can become so severe that panic attack victims become reclusive and are afraid to leave their homes for fear of having an attack in a public place.
Many who suffer from panic attacks race to the emergency room or call an ambulance because they feel like they are having a heart attack. This is easy to understand because some of the classic anxiety panic attack symptoms include chest pain, a choking feeling and difficulty breathing.
In his insightful book titled "Prisoners Of Our Thoughts," Gary Miller explains how "normal" fear can escalate into a full-fledged panic attack. "Abnormal fear basically begins with normal fear. But then the situation that is feared is magnified in the mind until it has become huge, causing either a panic attack or the anxiety panic attack symptoms. There are usually no logical or reasonable grounds for the level of fear that is being experienced."
In her thought-provoking ebook titled "Calming Words," Dr. Jean Kavanagh offers practical advice for people with anxiety panic disorder. She supports the theory that breathing techniques can be learned that will help the sufferer stop a panic attack in its tracks. Because so many panic attack sufferers feel out of control, this confidence building technique has been very successful.
