Treatment of panic attacks

Treatment of panic attacks

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.

Causes of panic attacks

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:

Рsychogenic

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;

Biological

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);

Physiogenic

Consumption of large amounts of alcohol, drug use, intoxication, excessive physical activity, changes in climate zones, weather sensitivity.

Symptoms of panic attacks

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

List of diseases

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.

Treatment of panic disorder

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.

Для мене сімейний лікар — це той, до кого можна прийти без страху і зайвого напруження. Саме таке враження залишила Вікторія Олексіївна. Спілкування просте й відкрите, без формальностей. Отримав чіткі відповіді на свої запитання і зрозумів, як діяти далі. Дуже комфортний лікар для постійного спостереження.

Прийшла до Вікторії Олексіївни з кількома різними скаргами, які давно ігнорувала. Лікарка уважно зібрала всю інформацію, допомогла розкласти все «по поличках» і пояснила, на що варто звернути увагу в першу чергу. Дуже сподобалося, що консультація була не формальною, а справді корисною. Після прийому стало значно спокійніше.
