Anxiety Attack Symptoms
Anxiety attack symptoms can be frightening and frustrating. The wave of sensations and symptoms, thoughts and emotions experienced by sufferers during an anxiety attack can be intense and often, sufferers, not knowing what it is they are experiencing, mistake anxiety attack symptoms for other health conditions and sometimes become hospitalised, only to be released later with a clean bill of health.
Anxiety attack symptoms occur when adrenalin and the amygdala, a small organ in the brain which controls anxiety levels, makes changes to bodily system in order to prepare it for fighting or fleeing from potential danger. The major organs most affected by these changes are the skin, the digestive tract, the heart and the lungs; all of which work together to become stronger, faster and more tuned in on potential threats. It is this process which produces all of the anxiety attack symptoms and thoughts you experience.
In anxiety disorder, no 'real' threat is present, the anxiety level is artificially raised due to the anxiety disorder experienced and anxiety attack symptoms become inevitable as adrenalin and the well prepared bodily systems required during the anxiety response, fail to use up the adrenalin or take advantage of the well prepared muscles, heart or lungs. The inappropriate anxiety level experienced brings with it all of the thoughts and anxiety attack symptoms as the body struggles to use up these valuable resources.
As the anxiety attack subsides, which it inevitably will over time, all of the symptoms experienced start to fade away. It is only if the sufferer becomes more anxious as a result of the anxiety attacks that a behavioural change happens in anticipation of the next attack, which causes a panic disorder to form. The sufferer then constantly monitors their physical self in order to gauge when a next anxiety attacks will happen.
Anxiety attack symptoms are an inevitable evil when a panic disorder forms, however, like all anxiety symptoms, they are just exaggerated, anxious sensations and thoughts created and sent out by an anxious mind; they represent no threat to the sufferer at all.
Anxiety attack symptoms can be eliminated using a targeted programme of recovery which offers guidance, knowledge, structure and vital support to the sufferer if and when they require it. It is by providing a seamless programme of recovery and support that the changes happen quickly and the subconscious behaviours which fuel anxiety attack symptoms are eliminated and replaced with more appropriate behaviours.
This process of recovery can happen very quickly indeed, sometimes within hours.
