There are actually two different kinds of attacks.
The one that most people know is a true panic attack.
This is where a person has a period of great fear or unease which is accompanied by at least four out of thirteen physical or cognitive symptoms.
The other form is known as a limited symptom attack in which a person feels the same way, but only experiences three or less symptoms.
Controlling and Overcoming Panic Symptoms of a panic attack normally consist of: heart palpitations, excessive sweating, trembling or shaking of the body, shortness of breath or feeling that you are being smothered, feeling you are being choked, having chest pain, upset stomach or nausea, dizzy or faint, pins and needles, dry mouth, diarrhea, chills/hot flashes, headache and depersonalization.
A lot of times a person will feel as though they are going to die or that they have lost complete control over things.
Normally this happens and then the person gets the sudden urge to escape or run away.
When talking about panic attacks there are actually three different types that a person can experience.
These are: -Spontaneous Panic Attack This is when an attack happens without any type of trigger.
It happens without any kind of warning, kind of,"out of the blue.
" These can happen at any time whether you be in a stressful situation or sleeping soundly in your bed.
-Situation Panic Attack This often happens when a person is waiting for something to happen or is in a current situation where it has struck before.
-Situationally Predisposed Panic Attack This type of attack may or may not happen during or immediately following a certain situation.
This one is a little harder to track.
Many individuals have heard of the "fight or flight" feeling.
What this is is the body's response mechanism in which it prepares us to either stand and fight for something or to turn around and run away from a dangerous situation.
When this feeling is triggered it releases adrenaline into the body and shuts down all areas of the body that are not needed to make the decision of stay or go.
When you are talking about being faced with a very dangerous situation like running into a bear this would make perfect sense and be very beneficial.
Many of the symptoms of a attack can be associated with the same type of feeling as the fight or flight urges.
This feeling can many times be brought on simply by worrying about the potential of having a panic attack.
Because of this, controlling panic attacks, or even preventing panic attacks, can be very difficult.
Also, the more symptoms of a panic attack a person has, the longer the attack will last.
Even after the actual attack has come and gone, a person can still have the feeling of fight or flight for up to several hours.
Many of the symptoms for the feeling of "fight or flight" are the same as the symptoms of a panic attack.
Here are some that are different: 1.
Rapid breathing 2.
Not being able to control your bladder 3.
Your face turning flush 4.
Getting a feeling that there is a lump in your throat.
