Tips to Prevent Panic Attacks
by Irene Mmari
The problem with panic attacks is they can originate from anywhere, at anytime although experts do know they are generally the result of anxiety, but why this affects the individual the way it does remains a mystery. Here we’ll take a look at what causes or triggers these panic attacks and how to control the anxiety that they derive from, then once you learn these natural methods to control your panic attacks, their causes will be far less important to you.
Being aware of a situation or condition that preempts the anxiety will mean that eventually, no matter how many times you are subject to the panic attack trigger, the anxiety that is normally felt will no longer be there. Controlling anxiety and stopping panic attacks needs to be for good because no one should suffer from uncontrollable anxiety.
It is not uncommon for panic attacks to be the result of a situation that has happened to the individual in the past which when reminded about, results in strong emotions of fear, anger, frustration even guilt or depression but the trigger will vary from person to person. As part of a condition called general anxiety disorder, they all originate in the same area of the brain and the symptoms are pretty much the same with anyone who suffers with it.
Most often seen in the work environment, general anxiety disorder can be caused by pressures at work which are also linked to depression so the person should avoid any position where this may be a cause. Stress can big a big factor in the cause of panic attacks and when stress happens in a work environment, anxiety is the result and an attack often follows.
The attack results in a person feeling extreme fear and the breathing becomes very rapid with a fast pulse in a condition called hyperventilation where it is not uncommon for thoughts of their own mortality to be overpowering. If the person can be taught to control their breathing, the panic attack soon dissipates and all this requires is focus from the mind.
For example when most people have an attack, they worry uncontrollably so you must learn that if an attack should happen then it is important to go through your breathing exercises. Regulating the breathing so that when the person breathes is it takes two seconds to complete while at the same time forcing their stomach out and then letting the air out in the same way.
At no time must you think that because you have to consciously control your breathing that you are not in complete control. It is important that the focus of this be on controlling the hyperventilation and not actually the breathing and if this can be done the attack will ease very quickly. If these suggestions do not help, the problem may be deeper seated and will require professional help.
