Symptoms And Signs Of Panic Attacks
from:Anxiety and Panic Attacks - What Are They?
It is estimated that 1 in 10 people will have an isolated panic
or anxiety attack in any given year. 1 in 75 will experience
panic disorder - that is, a sequence of two more panic or
anxiety attacks over time (US Surgeon General's Report 1999).
When we talk about anxiety attacks or panic attacks, we're
really talking about the same thing - a sudden, defined period
of extreme anxiety or terror. Interestingly - not all panic
attacks are the same.
Types of Panic Attack
Anxiety attacks can be spontaneous - seemingly arising out of
the blue; associated with specific situations or places, such as
driving or shopping malls; or associated with types of
situations or places - some people experience panic attacks in
any crowded space, for instance.
The American Psychological Association considers that the
classic anxiety attack lasts for about thirty minutes. However,
panic attack symptoms can be experienced in seconds, or they can
come in waves over a period of hours.
Panic Attack Symptoms
People suffering panic attacks often report the following
symptoms -
shallow breathing (hyperventilation)
or nausea
shaking or trembling
sensations
this is happening to somebody else
clearly
In addition, the anxiety attack may produce frightening thoughts
that drive the attack further.
mad
As these symptoms arise suddenly and apparently out of nowhere,
it can seem as if the mind and body are being "attacked".
However, as we shall see, in many ways panic or anxiety attack
is really a misnomer.
