What You Should Know About Panic Attacks

Panic attacks and anxiety attacks is a condition in which your body reacts as if threatened by impending danger even when there is no threat present: rapid beating of the heart (palpitations), severe chilling and/or intensive sweating. The body reacts as if having a heart attack. It's really terrifying. And it's debilitating.

The really important thing that I can tell you is that it is preventable. You do not have to suffer from this ailment. The crucial message I bring to you first-hand from suffering from panic attack for years - and overcoming them - is how to prevent this excruciating ailment from happening at all.

After your first panic attack, if you are like I was, you were fearful of having that feeling again, that scary out-of-control state your body was going through. So you are always on guard, always fearful that your body will betray you and you might actually die from the intense symptoms you feel. You won't! But you don't have to go through all that!

There are basically two methods to control and eradicate these intense feelings: cognitive (using your mind to realize that you are not actually threatened and you are NOT going to die) and behavioral (retraining your body to relax and release in the face of the artificial stress your brain is sending to your body.)

In further chapters, I will discuss the situations, which set up the triggers for panic attacks and why it's important to you to determine what triggered your original attack.

Here's my heartfelt empathy for what you're going through and my dedication to help you release yourself from the grip of panic attacks.
