Panic attack is one of the most distressing conditions that a person can experience. The signs of an impending panic attack can include the following: tremendous waves of fear, rapid heartbeat and increase in breathing rate. A fully fledged panic attack (within 1-2 minutes after the initial signs) will amplify the above symptoms, you chest starts to hurt, you are finding it difficult to breathe, you start feel dizzy and you sense that something terrible is about to happen and you are powerless against it.

Despite the uncomfortable sensations, you need to understand that panic attack is not an illness, it is a behavioral condition. Therefore, you cannot die or even be harmed by these symptoms. In fact, they are nothing more than your body's natural reaction during periods of high anxiety. They are disturbing, painful and terrifying -but harmless!

The downside of these symptoms is that your body will feel tired and fatigue after the end of your panic episode. You may continue to feel muscles tension and stiffness in your chest, neck and shoulders. Your chest may continue to feel tight and you continue to be short of breath.

However, do not let panic attacks get the better of you and let it rule over your life. Most sufferers can be so traumatized by the incident that they start avoiding places of situation which they "think" or "feel" might trigger their panic attacks. This is a wrong approach as it will not stop your panic attacks in the slightest bit, as a matter of fact, it only serves to reinforce your fears and make you more susceptible to another panic attack.

In essence, remember that anxiety and panic attacks are nothing more than your body's natural panic reaction. You are supposed to feel and react this way when you are in danger - it needs to be there. Panic attack is just a confused bodily sensation, there is no visible danger but your brain perceived otherwise and sends out a wrong signal - a mistake. Do not reinforce and continue to repeat that mistake by exaggerating the symptoms intoMAJORsignificance.
