Förlagets beskrivning
Have you ever felt a sudden surge of intense fear and anxiety? Explore this panic attack guide including symptoms, treatment, and tips on self-help. Young woman, hands to mouth, eyes anxiously looking outward, completed in the midst of a crowd surrounded by others. What is Panic Attack? A panic attack is an extreme wave of fear that is characterized by its unexpectedness and weakening, immobilizing force. You're beating your heart, you can't breathe and you might feel like you're dying or going crazy. Often panic attacks hit out of the blue, without warning, and sometimes without specific cause. They can even happen when you're either comfortable or asleep. A panic attack may be a one-time occurrence, while recurring episodes are encountered by many. Recurrent panic attacks are often triggered by a particular situation, such as crossing a bridge or speaking in public - especially when that situation has previously induced a panic attack. The panic-inducing condition is usually one where you feel trapped and unable to flee, causing a fight-or-flight response from the body. You can suffer one or more panic attacks but be perfectly happy and healthy otherwise. Or you may experience panic attacks as part of another condition, such as panic disorder, social phobia, if depression. Panic attacks are treatable, no matter what the cause. There are strategies you can use to reduce or eliminate the panic symptoms, regain your trust and take back control of your life. Signs and symptoms of panic attacks The signs and symptoms of a panic attack develop abruptly and usually peak within 10 minutes.

You may have one while shopping at a store, walking down the street, driving in your car, or even sitting at home on the couch. Symptoms of a panic attack include: 1. Breath shortening or hyperventilation: Hyperventilation is a condition where you start breathing very quickly. A balanced respiration happens with a good balance between oxygen breathing and carbon dioxide breathing out. You upset that balance by exhaling more than you inhale when you hyperventilate. This causes a rapid reduction in carbon dioxide in the body. Low carbon dioxide levels lead to narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood to the brain. This reduction in blood supply to the brain leads to symptoms like lightheadedness and tingling in the fingers. Severe hyperventilation can lead to loss of consciousness. 2. Heart palpitations or heart racing: Palpitations make you feel as though your heart is beating too hard or too quickly, missing a beat or fluttering. You may experience palpitations of the heart in
