Everyone feels panic and anxious from time to time throughout their life.
It is a normal and desired response that our body needs to go through periodically.
But there are thousands of people who feel panic and anxiety constantly, and severe enough that it disrupts their daily activities.
Many people will find themselves in the emergency room because the physical pain and symptoms that they are going through may lead them into thinking that they are having a heart attack.
It is important for those whose lives and relationships are being disrupted by frequent attacks to identify panic disorder symptoms.
Panic attack symptoms include chest pain and palpitations, muscle pains accompanied with tingling or numbness in that area, shortness of breath, or a feeling of being smothered.
Often times one will have excessive sweating, insomnia, extreme tiredness, stomach or bowel problems.
Dizziness, or feeling faint, depression, anger, and irritability, feeling alone, isolated and desperate are also very common displays of panic disorder symptoms.
No one knows for sure why some people are prone to panic attacks and others are calm, cool and collected under the same circumstances.
Researchers have said that our genes may be partly responsible for causing panic attacks in some people.
Another reason could be any number of environmental triggers.
Stressful experiences at home, work, school and many other social situations may trigger an intense panic attack.
Generalized anxiety disorders are found to be less common in men.
Many of the adults that experience panic and anxiety attacks say that they have been lifelong worriers, beginning with childhood or adolescence, but they did not actually begin having panic attacks until later in adulthood.
Whether you have experienced panic for years, or are just now starting to feel a few, or many of the panic disorder symptoms, the soon you reach out for help, the less disruptive these attacks will be to your life.
There are many options available to you on your path to recovery.
There are prescription medications, usually in the form of antidepressants that your physician can prescribe for you.
