Panic Attack Causes:

You've already seen how a phobia or anxiety disorder can bring on panic attacks. It's a fairly common assumption that panic attacks are rooted in a person's psychological disposition. While it's true that there may be past events that consciously or sub-consciously contribute to panic attacks, most people ignore the whole area of physical problems. For years, decades...maybe centuries, we thought bipolar affective disorder was a behavioral issue rooted in psychology. But, unless we compensate for a brain chemical imbalance, no amount of therapy will solve the problem. In many, if not most cases, panic attacks have a physical trigger, and the panic is merely a symptom of a physical illness or condition.

Here is a short list of physical conditions that can cause or trigger Panic attacks: Diabetes, hypoglycemia, hypertension, puberty, menopause, pregnancy, lack of aerobic exercise, poor diet/nutritional imbalances, too much coffee, alcoholism and drug addiction. This is the first and easiest place to check for an underlying cause...just get a complete physical.

The next step is to analyze your Panic events: What symptoms are present first? Are there certain types of circumstances present most of the time you have an attack? Like briefing my boss...getting ready to visit in-laws, eating a certain food, going more than 3 or 4 hours without food, the mailman is coming? If so, your panic may be triggered by a phobia or chronic anxiety. Sometimes it helps to get feedback from family and friends as to when you regularly do this, because you may be so overwhelmed with the feeling you can't easily analyze anything.

Panic Attack Prevention Tips:

If we can get to a cause, preventing attacks is fairly simple...just treat the condition or avoid the circumstance that triggers the attacks. This may not be easy depending on the cause. You still have to visit your in-laws, for instance. If we can't find the cause, we may still have some tricks to prevent a full-scale attack. Sometimes, if you change your circumstances right at the beginning of the attack, it will subside. Sometimes, an attack can be stopped if you hyperventilate on purpose, drink a cup of hot tea, drink a cold glass of water, shut your eyes, lay down, run 100 yards, sing a song, whistle, think of something funny (don't try all these at the same time). When you find something that works for you, write it down and use it the next time. These tips may help you prevent and control your panic attacks, but curing the condition is possible in most cases.

Panic Attack Treatment-Cure:

The cure of panic attacks often depends on the cause. If your attacks are triggered by a physical condition, they should be eliminated by treating the physical cause. If you can't find the cause, continue looking and using the above tips to control the attacks. If the cause is a specific anxiety or phobia, attack the anxiety or phobia. This involves baby steps building up to confronting the thing you fear regularly enough that it becomes almost routine. Can you imagine the guy who couldn't talk to his management, eventually briefing Colonels and Generals, Corporate VP's, speaking to crowds of over a thousand, singing solo's? Can you imagine someone who was afraid of people becoming a minister to help people with their problems? That's me. I couldn't imagine it either, until God helped me to confront the things I feared. He will help you, too. If you want His help, just click on Healing From God.
