Coping With Panic Attacks 

If you are suffering from panic attacks it may be comforting to know that you are not alone. In America it is estimated that over one million people suffer from panic attack symptoms regularly or some form of anxiety disorder.
 
For most people the panic attacks will happen infrequently and will only happen during a high stress situation. People who suffer from recurring panic attacks are known as suffering from what physicians refer to as an anxiety disorder.

There are a variety of different ways to help cope with anxiety disorder. It helps to know some of the coping techniques so you can use them as a crutch when experiencing panic attack symptoms.

The first important step is to recognize the panic attack symptoms for what they are, simply a panic attack. Many people will mistake a panic attack for a heart attack because of shortness of breath or tightness in the chest. If you are unsure it’s a great idea to consult your doctor to make sure you don’t have any heart conditions or other medical problems.

Once you have learned to recognize the symptoms for what they truly are then you can try various coping techniques to help alleviate the symptoms.  Some of the most common symptoms such as shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, dizziness, and inability to sit still are all indications of a panic attack.

Another common symptom is feelings of unreality. This symptom is often misunderstood and is hard to explain to those who have never experienced it before.

Basically when a person experiences a panic attack he or she starts to feel out of control. The body and the intense emotions of fear and anxiety are in control instead of your sane mind. The feelings of unreality can result from feeling this lack of control. It’s like you are forced to look at the world through an entirely different view or perspective that you aren’t used to.
