Causes of Panic Attacks
If you suffer with symptoms of anxiety or panic disorder, you are not to blame and you are hardly alone.
Modern society seems to grow more complicated and frustrating everyday and disorders are becoming more commonplace.
In fact six percent of men and thirteen percent of women suffer from an anxiety disorder in the United States.
Many of our friends and co-workers rely on some form of medication to ease anxiety and function properly.
However, there are many natural remedies and tools available to people to ease anxiety without the use of medications.
Most people would choose a natural remedy over drugs if they knew the option was available.
Anxiety has various causes which scientists have hypothesized about extensively.
One group says that anxiety is caused by disruptions in the normal balance of brain neurotransmitters.
This would cause a communication problem within the brain and stimulate the natural defense mechanisms in the body to kick in.
Other scientists say the disorder targets specific area of the brain.
The limbic system that is involved in emotions like aggression, fear, and pleasure could cause an attack.
Or the region of the brain that regulates hunger, thirst, and sexual response may be a contributor.
Any increase in the brain stem which controls physiological reactions to stress and panic will cause anxiety.
Likewise a decrease will in the activity will lower anxiety.
Yet another group believes that it is the nervous system which can accelerate heart rate, constrict blood vessels, raise blood pressure, and the other chemicals in that system are the culprit.
There are even more theories and each seems to have merit but maybe each one is just a piece of a large puzzle.
The most important place to start is visiting your doctor to be certain that you are physically healthy and anxiety could be the reason for your symptoms.
Panic attacks can result from the misinterpretation of harmless physical symptoms.
Every now and then, most people experience a symptom such as dizziness, tightness in the chest, or tingling fingers.
They usually just shrug it off and soon they just go away.
But people who are prone to panic attacks obsess about these feelings and convince themselves that something very bad is about to happen.
These thoughts then trigger a panic attack.
For example, if you feel dizzy, you may tell yourself your about to pass out or have a nervous breakdown.
If you experience a tightness in your chest, you may think you are about to have a massive heart attack.
But, in fact you are not going about to have a stroke, heart attack, or nervous breakdown.
Panic attacks result from a con game played out in your own mind.
