In today's world, people are constantly in a hurry to get somewhere in order to have time to do everything on time, worry about unfinished work and are constantly stressed. But not every person can adequately cope with strong feelings that have swept over him. Due to constant stress, nervous overstrain and panic attacks occur. The symptoms, treatment, and causes of these outbreaks have become of interest to modern medicine relatively recently. But already quite a large number of people suffer from this disease.
Panic attacks: symptoms, treatment and causes
The symptoms of panic attacks are as follows:
- it becomes hard to breathe, it seems that there is not enough air;
- heart hurts, pounding in the chest or works intermittently;
- starts to get very sick or dizzy, sick, weakness appears in the whole body, it seems that a faint is approaching;
- greatly increases or decreases blood pressure, shivering;
- attacksovertake a person suddenly;
- trembling in the limbs, numbness or tingling.
The main symptom is a feeling of fear of death or insanity
weem. Sometimes during an attack, people panic and rush from corner to corner, some moan and ask for help or drink pills, often you have to call an ambulance. In such situations, a false impression is created about the onset of a heart attack or other fatal disease. Recently, this disease has become more common among people. Patients are afraid that someday the attack may end in death. However, doctors who study panic attacks, the symptoms, and the treatment of these diseases are confident that such attacks do not pose a threat to life. However, over time, the disease progresses. Increasingly, depression occurs, a person acquires various kinds of phobias, which then themselves trigger panic attacks. This results in people limiting their world to four walls.
Of course, this must be fought, we must not allow the disease to take over the psyche. Doctors do not sit still and try to find solutions that could stop panic attacks. Symptoms, treatment and prevention of the disease are carefully studied and researched. But, unfortunately, today doctors have not advanced enough on the issue of how to treat panic attacks. They came to the conclusion that during panic attacks there is a sharp release into the blood of a sufficiently large amount of adrenaline. However, at the moment there is no possibilitycure panic attacks with medication. All medicines prescribed by doctors reduce the severity of panic attacks or relieve their symptoms. Perhaps the only effective way today is the psychotherapy of panic attacks. It aims to identify the unconscious causes of their appearance and work them out so that they disappear forever. During psychotherapy sessions, patients learn to self-destruct a panic attack at an early stage of its occurrence. Such psychotherapies are carried out only by qualified specialists.
How to deal with a panic attack on your own?
If everything is not too neglected, then you can try to cope with a panic attack on your own, without resorting to the help of specialists. Most importantly, you need to relax and even out your breathing. Sit in a comfortable position, relax your body and muscles, inhale deeply and relax.
Another good way is to completely “clear the head”: you need to stop the running of thoughts and concentrate on what is really there now, and everything else is a delusion of the imagination.
But these methods will help only at an early stage of the disease, in more serious cases it is better to turn to specialists.
