Anxiety Attack Symptoms - Don't Miss Them!

By: Jonathan Sapling

The first time Caleb experienced anxiety attack symptoms, he thought he was losing control of his body and his life.

"I was sitting at a traffic light the first time anxiety attack symptoms came over me. All of a sudden my heart started beating rapidly, my mouth was dry and I experienced an extreme level of fear. I felt like I couldn't catch my breath. The anxiety attack caused the most frightening day of my life."

The symptoms will vary from person to person, depending upon the cause of the anxiety. People who suffer from social anxiety attack symptoms are likely to withdraw rather than risk other people seeing them lose control.

A person with health anxiety may fret constantly about symptoms that are minor or don't exist at all. A person with generalized anxiety disorder may find themselves in a state of chronic worry and tension that seems irrational to the people around them. A person suffering from performance anxiety may experience rapid heartbeat and breathing difficulties that render them unable to utter a sound when asked to get up and make a speech.

Everyone has an ability to deal with stressful situations. The problem with panic attacks is that by their very nature they attack a person's inner strength and over time they leave a person completely depleted of nay confidence in their ability to handle stressful situations.

Some medical conditions and drugs can either cause anxiety or produce anxiety attack symptoms. These medical conditions include alcohol withdrawal, asthma, heart attack and overactive thyroid.

Medications that might cause or mimic anxiety attack symptoms include bronchodilators such as ephedrine, certain weight loss drugs and methylphenidate.

General anxiety may produce symptoms that are chronic and long lasting whereas the symptoms of an anxiety attack will usually come on suddenly and without warning. Symptoms may last only when an anxiety attack is taking place, but the sufferer is in constant fear of having another attack.

Remember that, to some degree, anxiety is a normal part of life.

Anxiety disorders occur when anxiety symptoms are uncontrollable or overwhelming. Social anxiety disorder symptoms can disrupt lives by affecting a person's ability to do something as simple as go to the store for a loaf of bread. If your anxiety attacks have become so great that they interfere with your normal activities, it is important to seek help.

A mental health professional can help you deal with your anxiety attacks and put together a course of treatment that will help you.

Treatment for anxiety attacks may include anxiety medication, cognitive therapy, breathing exercises, massages or lifestyle changes.
