No one knows the real reason why some are more prone to these attacks than others, or what indeed is the primary cause of them starting in the first place. It is believed that they could be linked to experiencing a traumatic event in your life or maybe brought about by other nervous conditions like agoraphobia or certain types of depression.
They are also linked in some cases to heavy drinking and drug abuse.
Whatever the reason, if you do suffer from Panic Attacks they can certainly make life miserable if you can’t get them under control, and often the stress and worry they bring can in turn cause more attacks so its a vicious circle.
A typical panic attack usually lasts around ten minutes, although some have been known to go on much longer. You may feel clammy and your throat feels constricted and tight, as if you can’t breathe, your heart starts pounding and you may experience lightheaded or dizzy feelings accompanied by nausea. It is not life threatening although if you not aware of what it is, it can certainly feel that way, and some people may think they are experiencing a heart attack or worse.
For many people a panic attack is a one off isolated incident that may never happen again, but for those who suffer regular occurrence what can be done to help?
