The first is recognizing that stress has a significant factor in what causes panic attacks. What you need to try to determine, is if this stress is an ongoing issue that is deeply rooted in your thought process either consciously or subconsciously.What I mean by that is often people grow up with generally feeling scared or fearful in everyday life. This could be caused by many deeply rooted factors such as abandonment as a child by either parent, parents who never gave much love to their child at critical development stages in their lives, or PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) brought on by a terrifying experience.Have you ever noticed that some people have a carefree response when confronted with an important life decision, scary experience, or they have a carefree outlook on life and generally don't seem to get stressed out about too many things?
Separation and school phobia.Sometimes, children develop certain phobias when they reach a certain age. One of the most common is a phobia of going to school. Experts have not been able to pinpoint the exact reason for this condition. Some children even become excessively afraid and aggressive when faced with the prospect of going off to school.
The other person may have had an unstable broken family that did not show much love to their child and then this person went on to experience what they "perceived" as terrible experiences in comparison to the other person in the stable family. This person also may have had a life threatening experience that they kept replaying in their mind over and over for years to come. Since this persons perception of fear that was ingrained in their personality from the early onset of a child, will dramatically affect their future perceptions of fear.
Lifestyle Change.This is very common when parents move. Most children develop a sense of security from their closeness to familiar friends and surroundings. When this abruptly changes, we can expect the child to have some apprehension and this may induce a panic attack.Other reasons.There are many instances when panic attacks occur for no apparent reason. This can be during the day even in the security of one's home or with friends. At other times it may happen when the child is asleep.Experts feel that this occurs when the child recalls something traumatic. This could be the death of a loved one or an impending move. These may trigger anxiety and lead to a panic attack.
Many parents attempt to reassure their children so they do not have to face uncertainties. It is these uncertainties that cause panic and anxiety issues. Parents who spend more time reassuring and validating their children report that their children have fewer panic attacks. It is also recommended that parents monitor that their children read and watch. Sometimes what they read watch (including the video games they play) can cause panic attacks.
When you are constantly tired and run down your body is in a consistent nervous state. You can never truly relax or calm down due to the fact that you are never truly rested. When this happens. this nervous energy eventually manifests itself as panic and anxiety.
A panic attack is actually a natural reaction of your body to things and events that your body considers as a threat. Examples of these are stressful events, a disease, and the likes. These attacks, however, become a disorder when your life begins to crumble because of it. That means you cannot work well, socialize with other members of the community, or simply said, you will stop living like a normal individual would.
The disorder is not really life threatening if you look at it from the medical perspective, but it could definitely ruin how you live your life in general. This is probably because the attacks are sudden and most often unexpected; one minute you are having coffee with some friends and on the next you are hyperventilating. Furthermore, the symptoms are very uncomfortable that every attack seems to be a traumatizing experience.
Depression.Depression has also been identified as one of the panic attacks causes. You may feel so depressed and alone that you can no longer control the way you feel. You have difficulty breathing and then you panic, feeling that you cannot control whatever is happening to you.Phobia.Your boss asked you to lead the presentation and called on you to discuss your business plan. Suddenly, you feel your heart racing and your breath so short you cannot even breathe. Suddenly, you cannot even speak. You may have a phobia related to speaking in public and when you are exposed to any situation that requires you to face your phobia then you experience panic attacks.
One more thing that could trigger or cause your attacks is taking drugs. I don't mean taking prohibited drugs, the drugs I am referring to are regular prescription drugs that have an initial adverse effect of panic attacks. There is no need to fret though as like what I have said, this is just an initial reaction to the drug and the chances of it lasting longer than expected is very slim.You may also consider a tragic event, like a lost of a loved one, to be a triggering factor to the disorder. Imagine how stressful and traumatic it could be to see someone die right before your very eyes. That image could stick in your mind and the stress and anxiety it brings about can lead to your attacks.Now you see how many things can actually cause your attacks; and that is just the tip of the ice berg, there are many other things that we can discuss. For now, let me just say that the best way to avoid your attacks, is to avoid stress in general.
