Have you been to the doctor convinced there's something physically wrong with you only to be told you are perfectly healthy? What was that thumping of your heart, the chest-pain, the trembling, the chocking feeling? Surely you are very sick; you must have been having a heart attack...
But your doctor tells you that you have experienced anxiety attack symptoms.
The good thing is that by visiting the doctor you have gone to the right place for diagnosis and help of your anxiety attacks.
Understanding anxiety attack symptoms is helpful but everyone reacts differently and even you may experience different symptoms during repeat attacks.
Symptoms such as dizziness, sweating, stomach upset, numbness or tingling of hands, feet or lips.
Often a sufferer will have an acute fear of doing something embarrassing.
The main anxiety attack symptom is one of extreme fear.
Usually when you experience fear it is aimed at a specific situation or event but with anxiety attacks you may not be aware of the reason for your anxiety and fear.
Anxiety attacks can even occur when you are sleeping, so what is the trigger there? When an anxiety attack happens it can be so overwhelming that you forget to breathe properly and tend to hyperventilate.
This makes your breathing too fast and shallow.
You can help yourself by learning correct breathing techniques and breathe slowly and deeply.
There are many successful natural treatments for overcoming anxiety attack symptoms without resorting to medications.
Don't let anxiety attacks take over your life.
Speak to your health professional to see what treatment is right for you.
