Panic Attack Symptoms

Archive for the ‘symptoms of panic attack’ Category

Hi,

Two days ago, when exercising, there were points where it was hard to catch my breath, where I would have to take deep breaths as if I was yawning.

Two days later, I woke up several times during the night with the same feeling… as if I HAD to keep yawning until I caught my breath. I felt better for a few minutes after I caught my breath, and then the feeling kept on coming back.

Are these symptoms of panic attacks? Any ideas what this can be and how to fix it?

Thanks.

Doesn’t really sound like panic attacks but definitely something you need to see a doctor about.

Like headaches and blurred vision without having a complete attack. My daughter has these problems but sometimes not all the symptoms. She is 9.

Panic attacks are sudden feelings of terror that strike without warning. These episodes can occur at any time, even during sleep. A person experiencing a panic attack may believe that he or she is having a heart attack or that death is imminent. The fear and terror that a person experiences during a panic attack are not in proportion to the true situation and may be unrelated to what is happening around them. Most people with panic attacks experience several of the following symptoms:
•"Racing" heart
•Feeling weak, faint, or dizzy
•Tingling or numbness in the hands and fingers
•Sense of terror, of impending doom or death
•Feeling sweaty or having chills
•Chest pains
•Breathing difficulties
•Feeling a loss of control

i think i had a panic attack…but i want to make sure it wasnt something else…can anyone give me any information?

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.

Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this herb called "St John’s Wort" – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
If you’re unable to take St John’s Wort, you can substitute it with Siberian Ginseng or Licorice Herb.

The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….

Don’t make fun of me. You’ve had this experience too. You were just a little more quiet and you didn’t roll it on tape.
