Free Yourself

With all the stresses and strains of modern living, panic attacks have become a common problem for many people. Panic attacks occur when the pressure we are living under starts to creep up and overwhelm us. Often it’s a result of running on the treadmill of life and forgetting to watch the signs and symptoms of the effects of excessive stress on our bodies. Thankfully panic attacks are very treatable. Often it is just a matter of learning to recognize the symptoms and learn simple but effective techniques that help you release yourself from the crippling effects a panic attack can bring.

If you’ve ever experienced a panic attack you know how it feels. It can come on very suddenly and is incredibly intense. You feel anxious or fearful and your heart pounds. Many people suffering from a panic attack will feel like their heart is giving out and may be fearful that they are going to die.

Though it feels like it lasts forever, panic attacks only normally last between five and twenty minutes. While many people will have one or two in their lifetime, if they are occurring on a regular basis and begin to impede the day to day rhythm of your life, you may, in fact, have a panic disorder.

It is more common for women than men to suffer from reported panic attacks. However, due to the fact many panic attacks can be misdiagnosed as heart problems which men tend to report more than women, it is possible the statistics are unofficially a lot closer together.

Left untreated, regular panic attacks can cripple you and prevent you from carrying out your everyday activities. However, thankfully panic attacks are very treatable and you don’t need to suffer under them forever.
