Disturbing Facts On Anxiety Attacks
Author: Jeanette Pollock

The most intriguing truth about anxiety attack that once it is
triggered, the entirety of the person's life may be
changed…forever.

Anxiety attacks cause one of the most complex and fastest
effects that may occur in human body. This condition is
experienced with an overwhelming sensation of uncontrollable
dread, which may somewhat border around the terrible
experiences of being seriously ill, or the expectance of death
or getting awfully nuts.

It's effects do not stop there. Drastic changes will occur in
the body's major organs more specifically the heart, the lungs,
intestines, kidneys, stomach, eyes, bladder and the largest
muscle groups.

All these combined may not even be accomplished by the serious
injuries induced in the body or the most violent poison that
may enter to it.

These reactions will then send a message to the brain to
release a cascade of hormones and stimulants which is the main
fact why when under an anxiety attack, the person feels mixed
sensations that are characterized mainly by the impulses to get
out, hide and flee.

Because of an overwhelming "imagined threat", the immediate
response is to take oneself away from being hopeless and
trapped. It really doesn't count if the threat is real (though
the rational mind is conscious that it there are no genuine
threats yet it seem not able to do something against his
sensations).

Panic may be the result of a trauma towards an accident, a
crime or the likes. However, the medical community is certain
that stress may be one root cause why people develop anxiety
attacks. Other resources assert that childhood experiences may
reveal the link.

People who are most susceptible to developing anxiety attacks
are those who are overly perfectionists, reclusive, socially
avoidant, excessively anxious and unreasonably fearful.
Heredity may play some vital roles though.

As we have noted earlier, once the attack commences it will
linger on until some effective cure is found. What keeps it
worse is the constant fear of the anticipated attacks. As a
defense mechanism, people will try to devise means to restrain
from doing activities or involving themselves into instances
and places which may bring back memories of the attack or which
they expect that anxiety attack is most likely to occur. In
effect, sufferers will enclose themselves into comfort zones
where they are fairly secured.

Although many cases are recorded in medical history, varying
levels of the medical community still often confuse the
condition with other ailments and disorders that are somehow
closely intertwined with anxiety attacks. This is primarily
because anxiety attacks imitate symptoms of other conditions,
which for many years have caused too much misdiagnosis.

In some cases, anxiety attacks mimic a condition completely
like with cases of hypoglycemia, hyperventilation syndrome,
complex partial seizures along with others. In some instances,
it follows the symptoms of disease like asthma, vertigo,
angina, hypertension, hiatal hernia but only in parts.

Nearly all anxiety attack sufferers believe that they are
seriously ill. Thus, they are noted to go from one physician to
another only to find that their case is not thoroughly
understood even by the experts themselves which they typically
confuse with panic.

1/3 of American adults desperately needs rescue from this
death-threatening condition. When will it be rendered? No one
knows exactly. But rest assured that even at this very moment,
people are working towards searching an efficient treatment of
the disorder.
