Would You Recognise A Panic Attack?
Anxiety attacks, or panic attacks as they are more or less the same thing, are on the increase. Nobody knows why there are on the increase but our current stressful lives seem to be a big factor. No matter the cause, they are increasing and causing more people more problems than ever.
How can you know you are suffering an anxiety attack? That’s a hard one as the symptoms are wide ranging and can be quite mild, although they can also be terrifying. Symptoms could be a simple hot flush to a more terrifying racing heart and shallowness of breath.
I guess if you were having the second type of symptom you’d be very aware you need help to put this right. But you may be suffering one of the many lesser symptoms and not really realising that you are having some form of anxiety attack. This could be a warning sign that things are about to get worse, much worse.
The first (bad) panic attack my wife suffered was actually while she was driving. I probably needn’t say that it wasn’t just the attack that shook her badly, but the fact she was driving and could have had a major accident. This scenario just doesn’t bear thinking about.
If you haven’t been feeling yourself lately, maybe you’ve had one or two of these symptoms… Feeling anxious or on edge, can’t sleep, can’t concentrate, can’t sit still or feeling irritated. These symptoms could well be a sign of things to come. Things much worse.
Let me put you at ease a little before you actually break out and have an attack. Many things can cause symptoms like the above symptoms. And none of them are anything to worry about. An ill fitting item of clothing can cause you to fidget and too much coffee (caffeine) will definitely disrupt your sleep.
If you would rather be safe than sorry you can find out if you are heading for anxiety attacks. A panic (anxiety) symptoms test will give you a better idea of whether you are at risk. The test involves answering yes or no to a few questions and adding your score up at the end.
Then you can decide if you need to take further action. You can find a panic attack symptoms test here.
