A panic attack is basically when a feeling of intense fears overcomes you in such a way that it causes severe physical reactions in the body. The reactions might be so intense that you might wonder and mistaken it for a heart attack thus rushing to a medical practitioner in emergency for treatment. They might not be so intense that people might ignore them too thinking it is an ordinary mood swing. As a general measure, the ratio of women experiencing the panic attacks is more than that of the men.
Earlier they were taken as stress only but now when people have a better understanding, they know that the attacks can be disabling potentially. The symptoms appear all of a sudden out of nowhere. They do not have any apparent cause. Most commonly and frequently experienced symptoms are increased heartbeat, severe chest pains, chills, flushes, nausea, dizziness, difficulty in breathing, numbness in hands and the whole body, feeling like you can't move at all, intense terror about something bad happening, fear of losing yourself, fear of losing control, the fear of embarrassing yourself publically, dream like sensations, distorted perceptions and fear of dying.
A typical attack lasts for several minutes and it might be the most distressing condition that you might ever experience. If you ever had an attack, you might definitely have another sometime later. Severe anxiety and repeated attacks lead to panic disorder.
Medications, relaxation techniques, therapies and meditation are very effective and help you overcome your fears during the panic attacks.
