In today's day and age it's almost impossible to avoid becoming stressed on some level.
At one point or another we all have to deal with the stress of a job, school, or family life.
There is simple stress that we all have experienced at one time or another and then there is anxiety with panic attacks.
Panic attacks are very much different from simple stress.
Stress is just the emotional/mental feeling of being overwhelmed or frustrated, whereas a panic attack is a physical manifestation of those feelings in the form of sweating, headache, increased heart speed, shaking, stomach cramps, and other symptoms that are extremely uncomfortable.
Some people even have problems breathing while experiencing a panic attack.
Panic or anxiety attacks usually occur when the amount of stress in your life comes to a point where your mind can no longer deal with it in a healthy way and therefore your body takes over.
When this happens you get all the terrible symptoms that millions experience each year.
There are many different things you can do to prevent or treat these attacks.
Since the main cause of panic attacks is stress, you'll want to find ways of going about reducing the amount of anxiety you feel on a daily basis.
This can mean taking up a new relaxing hobby or just repeating a certain phrase over and over till you feel yourself start to calm down.
If you are already experiencing panic attacks on a fairly regular basis, you'll want to seek out medical attention right away.
If it gets to the point where you can't even function properly, your doctor may prescribe you medication.
Anxiety with panic attacks is especially bad because of the health risk it poses to you.
When you put yourself through that much physical strain every day, you are running the risk of developing other problems as well unless you get treated right away.
