Millions of people in the United States struggle with anxiety attacks, which can happen anywhere. In addition to being a horrific experience for the mind, this physical issue is also debilitating physically.
Do you currently live with anxiety attacks? If so, you need to know that you are not alone and that while horrible, your doctor can help. Instead of struggling at school, work, and even home, now is the time to take action so you can get on the right treatment to stop anxiety attacks and regain control of your life.
Typically, physical symptoms that normally accompany an anxiety attack are stomach pains, chest pains, overwhelming worry, agitation, and much more. If you work with your doctor, the right type of treatment can be determined. When you visit the doctor, testing can be done to rule out any other serious problem and once the problem is confirmed solely as anxiety attacks, the doctor can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
Over the past several years, significant research has been conducted to identify triggers for anxiety attacks. Some experts believe the problem is inherited, some feel anxiety could be manifested from post traumatic stress disorder, and then others believe that abnormal chemistry in the brain is the culprit.
While different experts have different opinions, the one thing most believe is that there is an inherited link. We know that within the brain, signals are transmitted via neurotransmitters. However, when chemicals are not in proper balance within the neurotransmitters, messages become scrambled or lost. With that, an anxiety attack is likely.
People that are going through a tough divorce, recently lost someone they love to death, or even face a loved one going off to war typically experience a greater occurrence of anxiety attacks.
If you currently deal with anxiety attacks, you probably have several symptoms such as headache, stomachache, etc. In fact, many people have such horrific symptoms, especially shortness of breath and chest pains that they rush to the hospital believing they are having a heart attack only to discover the problem is an anxiety attack.
Remind yourself that you do not have to suffer. With proper treatment, you can once again live a normal, happy life.
