heart beat harder
Emotional shocks associated with the loss of a loved one, divorce, family quarrels, conflicts at work, accidents, as well as watching shocking films and TV programs;
Panic attacks are uncontrollable episodes of fear that significantly interfere with everyday life. In addition to the discomfort experienced during an episode, panic attacks “poison” a person’s life even after they have ended. A person tries to avoid factors that trigger panic attacks, which limits their daily activities and becomes a source of stress. As a result, professional efficiency declines and relationships with others deteriorate. Moreover, a panic attack, for example while driving, can lead to irreparable consequences.
A panic attack is a psychophysiological disorder. It can be triggered by both emotional factors and various processes inside the body.
Specialists identify three groups of causes:
Emotional shocks associated with the loss of a loved one, divorce, family quarrels, conflicts at work, accidents, as well as watching shocking films and TV programs;
Hormonal imbalances due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, starting hormonal contraceptives, etc. (if the condition is related to endocrine diseases, a diagnosis of panic disorder is not made);
Consumption of large amounts of alcohol, drug use, intoxication, excessive physical activity, changes in climate zones, weather sensitivity.
Panic attacks are accompanied by the following symptoms:
heart beat harder
pain in the breasts
sharp smoldering
confusion
feels like a tight throat
feel suffocated
backside
tedium
chills
numbness in the hands and feet
almost a prickling sensation on the body
high arterial pressure
dry lips and tongue
burning sensation in the stomach area
Panic attacks are characterized by the presence of at least four symptoms. Their combination and intensity during attacks may vary.
If you experience these symptoms, you should undergo a medical examination to identify diseases with similar symptoms, such as cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, epilepsy, etc.
In case of panic attacks, it is important to consult a doctor in a timely manner to avoid the development of neurological diseases and the appearance of phobias. The doctor will analyze the patient's health and develop a personalized treatment plan. There are medications used to treat panic attacks, but in order not to harm your health, they can only be taken as prescribed by a doctor.
To treat and prevent panic attacks, it is helpful to “unload” the body, for example, by resting in a sanatorium to restore strength and improve psychological well-being. Sports or therapeutic physical education also contribute to restoring health.
Panic attacks are a problem of the human nervous system, the health of which, as we know, is closely related to all systems and organs in the human body. Therefore, the treatment of panic attacks is very important for maintaining the health of the whole body.
