Anxiety Attacks (Panic Attacks)

Anxiety attacks, or panic attacks can be very unsettling for the sufferer, and can appear at almost any time... their unpredictability makes them particularly unpleasant.

Paul Douglass, in his article "What is a Panic Attack?" states...

"A panic attack, or an anxiety attack, is an extreme feeling of fear, anxiety and/or emotion which has little or no obvious cause.

It can be described as having genuine feelings of fear and distress which are disproportionate to the actual threat to the person in the given situation.

A panic attack (anxiety attack) can be extremely distressing for the sufferer, and can also be quite frustrating when the person knows that there is no obvious reason for the panic attack to be happening.

The effects of the panic attack can vary from person to person, but the symptoms are often very similar to those that the person would feel in a truly threatening situation.

The common symptoms of a panic attack (or anxiety attack) can include shaking, sweating, dizzyness and heart palpitations. "
