How to Stop Panic Attacks For Good

How to Stop Panic Attacks for Good



A panic attack is a truly terrifying experience. Your heart races and pounds, you feel hot and sweaty, and unable to breathe. Your hands and arms may start to tingle, you have feelings of dizziness and unreality, and you may fear that you will pass out. You may even rush to the ER afraid that you are having a heart attack or stroke.



A panic attack is caused by a rush of adrenaline, which stimulates our inherent fight or flight reflex. When we are faced with a real danger, such as a life threatening situation or a sudden shock, the reflex is entirely appropriate. However, when this reflex is triggered inappropriately, such as during a panic attack, the adrenaline is not burned up, and we experience all the terrifying symptoms of an anxiety attack.



Although very unpleasant, panic attacks are not dangerous. However, when your heart is racing at a mile a minute and you are struggling to breathe, it is very difficult to keep in mind that this is an entirely harmless experience. If not treated, panic attacks can lead to avoidance behaviour, when sufferers deliberately avoid certain situations or stimuli in order to avoid having an attack.



To stop panic attacks for good, you have to retrain your nervous system to "think" differently. Firstly, you need to accept panic attacks for what they are mere sensations which cannot harm or hurt you in any way. You will not die from a heart attack, stop breathing or even pass out. Everything you are feeling is merely a result of excess adrenaline, and when the adrenaline is burned up everything will return to normal. If you panic even more because of the sensations you are feeling, it will not hurt you, merely delay your recovery. Force yourself not to concentrate on the symptoms, go read a book, play on the computer or do something which requires concentration. It will be very difficult at first, when your heart is racing and you are trembling and fearful it takes great effort to concentrate on much else. Adrenaline is actually a lifesaver, it is given in cases of anaphylactic shock and heart attacks to keep people alive, and it is not going to hurt you. You merely have a little too much of it right now and your nervous system is responding naturally to its presence.
