were having a heart attack but you were sent home? This is what

happened to people with anxiety or panic disorder. People with panic

disorder usually experience unexpected disturbing panic attacks and

it will reach its peak within minutes and it's like they are having a

heart attack. It is accompanied by symptoms like palpitation or

increased heartbeat, sweating, nausea, trembling, shortness of

breath, feeling that you need to flee, feeling of unreality and fear

of going crazy or losing self-control. The experience of panic or

anxiety attacks can be very overwhelming that sufferers do not want

to go through the same experience again. The anticipation on when the

next episode of attacks will occur makes them more worried or

anxious.

A Panic attack may happen anytime and anywhere. Living with panic

disorder can be very disabling. The fear and avoidance of having

another episode of panic attacks can prevent you from living a normal

life. For instance, if you experienced having panic attacks while

doing common things like driving or going to the grocery store, you

will avoid doing those things to prevent panic attacks. Living like

this can be very frustrating and depressing.

Seek the help of mental health professionals. To get rid of

disturbing panic attacks, you may need the help of mental health

professionals like a therapist and a psychiatrist. It is important to

look for professionals with the credentials and experience in

treating anxiety or panic disorder. You should be comfortable with

your potential therapist or psychiatrist so that it is easier to work

on the treatment plans. The treatment plans and its duration must be

properly explained to you. Your mental health doctor may suggest

therapy and medications. If the treatment involves the participation

of your family, it must be disclosed to you. The success of your

treatment depends on your confidence with your therapist and your

participation with the treatment.

Exercise or physical activities. Staying physically active is always

beneficial for your mental and physical health. Exercise improves

physical strength and mental alertness. It is also a great stress

reliever. Stress is a major trigger of anxiety and panic attacks.

or panic disorder to reduce their symptoms over time. People who

exercise regularly and who are physically active are less likely to

be depressed and anxious. They have more stable moods and mental

health. So if you are worried about having disturbing panic attacks,

exercise can be a good therapy. Exercise doesn't have to be a

strenuous activity but is should be fun and enjoyable. A daily 15-20

minutes brisk walking while listening to good music can be very

physical activities or sports that you find enjoyable.

treatable disorder. You do not have to suffer in silence because you
