I’ll be completely fine on a plane and the suddenly i’ll realize i’m trapped 10 thousand some-odd feet in the air and i’ll get hot, and squirm. sometimes I hyperventiliate and think I’m choking, going to be sick or, think i cant breathe.

So…can you cure panic attacks?

The simple answer is YES!

A lot of people have this misconception that they are stuck with panic attacks forever. This beliefs comes from their doctors and psychologists who tells them that there are no such thing as panic attacks cure.

These medical professional tells you to learn to live with panic attacks. They teach you “coping technique”, “breathing exercises” and ask you to change your life style to suit your anxiety. They give you medication to subdue your panic attacks. No one question their methods because they are medical professional - its all “medically proven”.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not condemning these medical professionals. Some of them do an excellent job in helping people, but the fact remains that there’s still a lot people out there who do not respond well to their treatment methods and are still suffering from panic attacks.

People need an alternative! They don’t need to be stuck taking medicine forever or even have this beliefs that they are “incurable”.

Panic attacks is NOT incurable. Its not even a mental illness. Somehow along the way, your “panic alarm” gets messed up. It goes off for no reason even though your not in any danger - this is panic attack!

So… can you cure panic attacks? YES! You just have to learn how to fixed this “panic alarm”, its that simple! Does this sound incurable? Obviously NOT!

The KEY thing to take note is fear. What’s make panic attack difficult to stop? Fear. The fear of having a heart attack during panic attack. The fear of fainting during a panic attack. The fear that you might actually die from a panic attack. The cure to panic attacks is to stop this irrational fear.

Your heart is pounding madly and your chest hurts, you think its a heart attack…but ITS NOT! This sort of heart activity is usually reserved for vigorous activity (for example:exercising), when you don’t notice it as much. Its suppose to feel this way when your in “panic mode”.

You feel dizzy and weak, you think your going to faint soon…but YOUR NOT! This sensation is caused by hyperventilation - when your breathing too fast and taking in too much oxygen. Having too much oxygen in your blood will disrupt its normal flow, your brain automatically restrict blood flow to balance out the low carbon dioxide levels - resulting in light-headedness.

As you can see, every symptom your experiencing is caused by the body. Your not stuck with some “mysterious illness”. Furthermore, your body CANNOT kill itself and that’s why you having nothing to fear. Panic attack CANNOT kill you.

At anytime the onset of a panic attack can happen; when you are at home, in your car, in public or pretty much anywhere. The direct cause of panic attack symptoms have no yet been inpointed by researchers. The cause of panic attack symptoms is believed to be a hereditary condition by many researchers, but other believe the main cause can be stress or fear. In every victim the symptoms always remain the same even though there is no defined cause of a panic attack. The same symptoms as a life threatening experience are reflected in a panic attack as research has shown. During a panic attack the same fear is felt similar to the fear during a life-threatening situation.

You Aren’t Really Dying

A sudden tightening of the chest followed by an extreme increase of heart rate are the symptoms in a panic attack. The person will feel nauseated, dizzy and sometimes a person may even faint as a result of the increased heart rate. Some people may even feel as if they are dying as a cause of panic attack symptoms. Anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours can be the duration of these symptoms.

An effect of stress or nerves used to be what doctors looked at as the cause of panic attack symptoms. The patient was sent on their way and the diagnosis was overlooked. A medication schedule is now used by doctors to treat the panic attack and help prevent any future attacks. To help a person understand the probable cause of a panic attack counseling may also be recommended to help handle oncoming attacks.

Medications Available to Help Alleviate the Cause of Panic Attack Symptoms

To help with prevention or the cause of panic attack symptoms there are many medications now on the market. Zoloft, Prozac and Paxil are some anti-depression medications that doctors have been prescribing. The effects are relieved and sometimes the panic attack can be eliminated all together with these medications. The anxiety levels in a patient are relieved with the help of the medication and it is believed the anxiety levels are the main cause of a panic attack. A patient will feel more relaxed and less susceptible to experience an attack by taking these medications.

A doctor will likely refer to a cognitive behavior specialist in addition to the medication. You will experience two different types of therapy during a cognitive therapy session. Behavioral therapy is the concentration of the first therapy and cognitive therapy is the other. Cognitive therapy will help focus on determining when the believed cause of the panic attack is and also what triggers or worsens the attack. Different ways of managing the cause of a panic attack are learned with behavioral therapy. Relaxation techniques and concentrated breathing techniques are some of the common behavioral exercises.

The believed cause of a panic attack will be attacked by a combination of these two therapies which can help prevent future attacks. Sometimes a panic attack can be dangerous and they are also a very frightening experience. Future treatment is highly recommended even if you make it through a panic episode. If it happens, do not ignore a panic attack. Rather seek help and find the cause so you can avoid any future attacks.

Panic attacks are common to us all.  What is different is the degree of these attacks, as it is different from one person to the next. Nevertheless, panic attack becomes “acute” when our normal day-to-day living is affected drastically by this condition.

Although it is natural for everyone of us to experience overwhelming feelings of panic and anxiety when we are confronted with threatening situations, acute panic attacks are made worse by the fact that no obvious reason can be pointed to as the cause for its occurrence!  Naturally, after the incidence that caused our initial fear passes, so does our fear but with acute panic attack, there is no reprieve because there was no rational cause for the acute panic in the first instance.

On the other hand, there exists “light at the end of the tunnel” for sufferers of acute panic attacks as there are quite a number of treatments that are available for acute panic attacks.
