Anxiety and panic attacks affect many Americans today, and for some, the symptoms are severe enough to get in the way of daily activities and affect the overall quality of life.
Anxiety begins as a normal and healthy response to dangerous situations in life, and is described by health care professionals as the “flight or fight” response to emergencies. However, when anxiety becomes an issue at other times of life, it can sap you of energy and keep you from enjoying activities and events in your life. Panic attacks are a form of anxiety, and are characterized by numerous symptoms that can hit out of the blue and for no apparent reason.
What are the symptoms? Symptoms like flushed skin, sweating and shaking can be an embarrassing problem when they occur in public. Other symptoms, such as shortness of breath, a pounding heart and chest pains can make you feel as though you are going to have a heart attack or even die.
These attacks are generally not serious from a physical standpoint but can be quite debilitating from a mental and emotional one. That is why it is important to learn to recognize the symptoms, find the best treatment options and learn other coping mechanisms for anxiety and panic attacks that will allow you to enjoy a higher quality of life despite your condition.
