Is it a panic attack?

Hi Toni. I hope ur feeling better. I always believed that panic attacks come whenever they want to. You said that you were not anxious at that moment. HOwever, panic attacks are usually rooted in our deep deep subconscious thoughts and worries. We may not even be aware of our subconsious thoughts. But if you have suppressed feelings or worries....this may be the result of the panic attack. Are u worried about something deep down inside? Are you fearing another panic attack coming? What is your deepest fear? Whats the worst that can happen? U should ask urself these questions and try to get in touch with your subconsious!!!!

Toni - you're not alone on this one. I too thought that sufferers of anxiety/panic had reason in their lives (high stress, death of loved one, etc), but I too am suffering from these feelings and symptoms for no apparent reason. I just started the 12 week course, and I'm hoping to find a way to control it...but I just wanted to say you're not alone and I hope you find a way to get better too. Good luck to you...to both of us.

Hi Toni, A panic attack is a brief episode of intense fear and it is usually accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, or abdominal distress. In scientific terms, panic attacks are thought to occur when the brain's normal mechanism for reacting to a threat €“ the so-called "fight or flight" response €“ gets "switched on" at the wrong time. Panic attacks usually last for a few minutes but may continue for much longer. Most panic attacks are at their worst between 10 and 30 minutes after they begin. The symptoms usually fade over the course of about an hour. Panic attacks may come out of the blue as you have described. It might happen when you are dong something ordinary like driving a car, shopping, or going to work. Suddenly, you are overwhelmed by frightening and uncomfortable symptoms. Panic attacks usually take a person completely by surprise. One reason they're so devastating is that you can€™t really predict when they€™ll happen. Hope you find the breathing exercises helpful. Thanks Fixing for providing a great description! Let us know how you are doing. Casey _________________________________ The Panic Center Support Team

Toni, I don't know if you're having a panick attack or not, but breathing exercises are one of the most helpful thing I have every learned. Here is a quick intro: Hyperventilation causes levels of CO2 to drop in the blood stream, CO2 is very important in maintaining a proper pH level in the blood, too little CO2 causes pH to rise in nerve cells, making them more excitable and can contribute to many of the fight or flight symptoms we experience during a panic attack. SO, there are two types of breathing 1) thoracic or Upper Chest Breathing, and 2) diaphragmatic breathing. Upper chest breathing is more rapid and shallow, and is actually fight or flight response to get more oxygen fast. Diaphragmatic breathing is what we all should be doing normally. But most of us don't. I know myself I used to suck in my stomach to look skinnier or wear too tight clothes - this promotes upper chest breathing. Anyhow: Your stomach (abdomen, diaphragm) should move out as you breathe in, and should return as you breathe out. Your chest should not really move. It seemed wierd to me at first to do it, and I had to force it, but now it's quite natural. If you lie on your back, force your stomach out as you breathe in, and let it relax as you exhale. Continue practising day in and day out. It's easiest lying down, but soon you will find you do it all the time unconsciously. And it helps! PS my book says that a normal breathing rate is 8-16 times per minute. Sorry so long, hope it helps FIXING

Hi, I am having trouble at the moment with the attacks coming completely out of the blue. I have had a great morning, I slept well. I have been at work for a couple of hours then all of a sudden my legs felt like they were going to collapse, I trembled physically & my eyes can't seem to focus properly. Because this came out of the blue - nothing had upset me, I was not anxious about anything - I just felt terrible! I thought panic attacks happen when you are anxious - why am I feeling this way? I think there might be something wrong - then as I write this I know it is a panic attack because I am doing all the things I have written down that I do when I am having an attack (looking around nervously, bouncing my leg etc), I am sitting down in front of a fan (it is really cold) because it makes me feel better being cold??? I'm scared because what if something is wrong? I am not up to breathing excerises yet - anyway I can skip to that part of the programme?
