Panic Attack Symptoms and Causes

Shirley was so afraid. Every time she started to go out, she would get that awful feeling in the pit of her stomach and she became terrified that another panic attack was coming or that some other, unknown terrible thing was going to happen.

Panic attacks are very widespread, in the US as well as all over the globe. Only in the US it is the most common mental illness in the U.S. with 19.1 million (13.3%) of the adult U.S. population (ages 18-54) affected.

Physical symptoms of panic attacks-

Some of the symptoms of an anxiety or panic attack can include extreme dizziness,blurred vision, tingling and feelings of breathlessness, and a fear of suffocating or smothering. You might feel sick in the stomach.
There may also be symptoms such as the fear that you are losing your mind, and feeling disassociated with your surroundings, as if you are viewing a movie.

It is because such a large percentage of the population suffers from panic attacks and anxiety that doctors and researchers are constantly looking for new treatments every day.
There are several current treatments that are available for panic attacks and anxiety disorders, ranging from medication to reduce anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy which focuses on coping techniques and exposure therapy. There are also alternative treatments such as hypnosis, meditation and relaxation techniques.


Unfortunately some methods for treating panic attacks and anxiety are outdated, such as 'deep breathing', positive affirmations, or using distraction to take your mind off the fear of an attack..

Fortunately, if you are interested in a natural cure for panic attacks there is a radical new treatment recently released that is unlike anything that is available today. It involves no medication, no herbs, no therapy, no riding out the fear or hypnosis.

A collection of panic attack medicine and treatments are developed and marketed around the world. However, it is always up to the consumers’ sensitive eye whether to avail of such scientifically-tested medical breakthroughs or use any such claimed-to-be-effective techniques on how to get medications for panic attacks and other correlated issues.

I got a new one for my sister and I hope this can help her(cross fingers).
