Before talking about panic attack symptoms let’s expand on what panic is. Panic is a debilitating feeling that in some cases can become a full-blown disorder characterized by panic attacks.

There are a number of symptoms of panic attack, and those who suffer from them frequently are diagnosed with the condition known as panic disorder.

Signs and Symptoms of Panic Attacks….

Signs and symptoms of panic attacks include:

• shortness of breath
• rapid heartbeat
• sensation of terror
• feeling of loss of control.
• unable to breathe
• tight chest,
• sweaty and cold at the same time
• feeling you will die
• weak
• faint
• extremely fast heartbeat
• feeling of you have to escape, no matter what,
• overwhelming fear
• unable to think

People who are experiencing panic attack symptoms often think they are having a heart attack or dying.

Other symptoms of panic attack include numbness or tingling in extremities, sweating, weakness, dizziness, and fainting. In cases of panic disorder, the feeling of terror is not proportional to the situation that appears to trigger the attack. In fact, in some cases, panic attacks can occur with no apparent trigger at all.

While the attack does not usually last more than ten minutes, some panic attack symptoms may last longer, and once a person has had a panic attack, he or she is at an increased risk for having another.

In the United States, nearly 2.4 million people experience panic attack symptoms often enough to be diagnosed with panic disorder. The condition most often manifests itself in adults between the ages of 18 and 54. Women are twice as likely as men to suffer from panic attacks, and their symptoms usually begin at an earlier age.

Panic disorder can be a frustrating condition because once the symptoms of panic attack are experienced, the fear of suffering from another panic attack without warning, especially in public, often lingers in the back of the sufferer’s mind. This can exacerbate the problem and cause additional symptoms of chronic anxiety and fearfulness.

The Cause.

While there is no clear cause, people often experience the first signs and symptoms of panic attack in association with major life events like getting married, having a child, moving, starting a new job, or losing a loved one.

The condition may be genetic, and people who suffer from panic attacks are more likely to also struggle with depression, alcoholism or substance abuse than those who have never had any panic attack symptoms.

What Can You Do?

There are a wide variety of treatment options for people who suffer from symptoms of panic attack.

Lifestyle changes to help deal with stressors as well as counseling are among the non-medical options available, and many people find relief from symptoms of panic attacks through relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and guided visualization.

Dietary changes, such as reducing caffeine and sugar intake can also help many people who suffer from panic disorder to reduce the severity and frequency of their symptoms.

There are also a number of medications to treat symptoms of panic attacks, including anti-anxiety agents, anti-depressants and even a class of heart medications known as beta-blockers.

“My name is Rev. Kohler. I just wanted everyone to know that this course “Panic Away” is phenomenal. I have suffered with anxiety/panic attacks for over seven years off and on… After three days of reading Panic Away I could hardly believe I was beginning to feel better. After a month I went from having one anxiety attack every day to one in the last month”
