Susan was relaxing like she did every Saturday morning at the nail salon. She had her feet in the tub, the massage chair activated and was getting a great pedicure. She was talking to the other ladies in the salon about the weather for the upcoming weekend, and the upcoming holidays.

Suddenly, her skin started to itch, it was on fire. She adjusted her feet, maybe the water was too hot. Sweat beads appeared on her forehead, she felt her back and underarms grow moist with sweat. Susan sat there paralyzed, her heart was racing so fast, the beating was so hard she felt like her chest was going to explode. She couldn´t breathe. Oh My God! She thought, I´m having a heart attack. The walls were closing in on her, everyone was looking at her, people must think she´s crazy.

She had to get out, get out, GET OUT NOW! Susan leapt from the pedicure chair and ran to the door. She burst out of the salon and into the parking lot in her bare wet feet. She breathes, she breathes, she can breathe again! Suddenly, she realizes she was in the parking lot in her bare feet. How could she go back in there? What would she say? This is mortifying? Does any of this sound familiar?

Panic attacks come quickly, often without warning and in places you would never imagine having them. What could be more relaxing than pedicure?

Understanding what triggers the attacks is the first step in preventing them. What actually set Susan off was talking about the holidays. Thinking about all the gifts she had to buy, meals to prepare, cards to spend and other preparations she had to do set her into panic mode.

Like most panic attack sufferers, she thought she was dying, having a heart attack or some other serious medical emergency. Her only impulse was to run, run away from the sensations, the experience, the fear. Her fight or flight response was triggered.

Indeed, most attacks come quickly and leave quickly. That´s what´s so frightening about them. They come on strong, often out of nowhere and severely interrupt a person´s life. Susan´s panic from start to finish was less than five minutes. Most attacks last only a couple of minutes but leave lingering fears and anxiety well after that.

Once Susan was able to breathe again, the realization that she had acted in an embarrassing manner hit hard. The mortification that sufferers experience after an episode often leaves long lasting effects. Explaining yourself and reassuring others is only the first part of the process. You then become obsessed with avoiding the situation that you connect to the panic attack.

Susan didn´t go to that nail salon or any other nail salon again for years. She lost touch with the ladies in the nail salon, she avoided those same ladies if she saw them around town, at the mall, in the supermarket. Ducking behind the donut display to avoid seeing someone you had known for years may seem extreme but for panic attack sufferers it's not.

Susan also stopped going to the hair salon because she thought sitting in a chair in one of these places caused her attack and she didn´t want to look or act like a fool in the hair salon. She justified this by telling everyone she was growing her hair out. She told herself she was being economical and it was a good move for her family.

Susan´s condition worsened as the weeks and months passed after this first panic attack at the nail salon. Her life was unrecognizable and her priorities were completely out of whack.

Why did all of this happen? She was terrified of having another panic attack. Unchecked and untreated, anxiety can become crippling, ultimately leading to Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD or phobias, such as agoraphobia, a common companion condition to the attacks.

The good news is you can help yourself, you can manage and prevent your panic attacks. The key to preventing them is understanding the source of your anxiety and then managing your lifestyle and thought process.

Panic Defence asked:


The Major Mistakes that People with Panic Attacks are Making.

Panic attacks can be extremely traumatic and people who experience them often say that they would do anything to get rid of them. In actual fact however, many people with panic attacks are inadvertently doing things that are directly and indirectly fuelling further panic attacks.

The following are the biggest mistakes that people with panic attacks make in their daily lives. By cutting these out, we can all experience a dramatic reduction in the frequency, duration and intensity of panic attacks.

Some of the most fascinating research into panic attacks that has been revealed recently has shown that a lack of assertiveness in interactions with others is a major contributing factor to the development of a panic disorder, rather than as a consequence of them. It has long been noted that people with panic attacks tend to be politer than average, but it has now been discovered that this leads to panic attacks because it makes people over analyse themselves too much and caught in a cycle of trying to please others too much. Instead, it’s time to take charge and assert yourself more and more in daily life, which will also boost your own self-confidence and respect.

Incorrect breathing is also a major factor that far too many people are making. To test yourself, simply place one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach and take a deep breath. If the hand on your chest moves more than the one on your stomach then you are not employing proper diaphragm breathing, but are instead are continuously making yourself more anxious.

Next up is the habit of confusing healthy physical sensations with dangerous ones, which sets off false alarms in your body to induce the panic response. Physical exertion, normal bodily functions and even a sense of excitement can all be given the worst possible interpretation by someone suffering from panic attacks.

Many people with panic attacks choose to think that they have no control over their body and this is another major factor in fuelling panic attacks because people are left thinking that they are trapped in their own body. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. Millions of people have overcome their panic attacks and moved on with their lives and there’s no reason why any one person’s case is special and not able to be cured.

The most obvious, often done mistake (but also the easiest to stop) is consuming food and drink that make you more anxious and prone to panic attacks. Panic attacks are centred upon the nervous system, therefore we must eat foods that are rich in vitamin Bs because they directly nourish and strengthen the nervous system, which produces calming effects. More specifically within the B group of vitamins, you’ll find that Vitamin B12, Thiamin and Niacin can make you much more resistant to the experience of a panic attack.

A recommended balanced diet, specifically for someone who suffers from panic attacks therefore, would consist of 20% meat, poultry, seafood, cheese, eggs and tofu. Then, 35% of baked potato, broccoli, asparagus, peanuts, legumes, watermelons and oranges. Then 45% would consist of brown rice, whole grain cereal, pasta, wheat germ, oatmeal and bread.

Finally, a fundamental mistake that many make is not seeking help. Medical practitioners estimate that the majority of people who suffer from panic attacks do not ask for help. Unfortunately, many of them are only discovered by the health system when they develop an even worse condition as a result of letting their panic disorder get out of hand, such as alcoholism, substance abuse, agoraphobia or OCD. Instead of spending a fortune on therapy however, the Panic Defence Handbook remains the most complete guide to overcoming panic attacks once and for all. Find out more at www.PanicHandbook.com .

Michael Lee asked:


If you’re experiencing anxiety attack symptoms, then you have to quickly have yourself tested and treated. Recognize the signs of anxiety and take some time to cure it, no matter how hectic your lifestyle is. How do you know if regular conditions that make you worried or uneasy are just normal, or something that needs immediate attention, like anxiety attack symptoms?

Anxiety Attack Symptoms

The most common anxiety attack symptom is intense fear or phobia. This often unfounded fear may be accompanied by any one or more of the following:

• Heart palpitations and faster heartbeats

• Dizziness or nausea

• Pins and needles muscle pain

• Difficulty in breathing

• Hot or cold flashes

• Excessive sweating and/or tremors.

• Chest pain

• Having a feeling of impending doom. You may feel that something bad is going to happen to you or to your loved ones.

• Stomach problems – feeling sick to your stomach, diarrhea and sometimes even vomiting

An anxiety attack usually lasts half an hour or less. It can be a one-time event or a repetitive one. If anxiety attack symptoms are frequent and regular, you may be already suffering from an anxiety disorder. Sometimes, anxiety attacks are triggered by the fear of having another anxiety attack.

Anxiety Disorder

This disorder is characterized by chronic worrying and repeated episodes of anxiety or panic attacks.

Aside from the symptoms associated with anxiety attacks, those with anxiety disorder generally experience difficulty concentrating, change in appetite, frequent need to use the bathroom, insomnia, restlessness, lethargy, irritability, loss of interest in life, muscle tension, fatigue and others.

The most common type of anxiety disorder is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). This is usually associated with a false or irrational fear that something terrible will happen in the future. This could mean being so preoccupied about the cause of your anxiety so much that you cannot focus on other things like work. Sometimes there is no exact cause for the anxiety, though feelings of dread overwhelm the person on a daily or regular basis.

Anxiety Treatments and Medication

A counselor can usually treat mild anxiety. The counselor can give breathing and relaxation exercises to deal with anxiety attacks when they occur. It also helps to do regular meditation on your own.

Some herbs like chamomile, which has a calming effect, can also help. Testimonial evidence shows that valerian and passion flower, when combined, effectively reduce anxiety. Other herbs that can be used for treatment are kava hops, skullcap, motherwort, pennyroyal, St. John's wort, and linden.

For severe cases, relaxation exercises and herbal remedies may only be supplemental to anxiety medications. Recommended medication especially for GAD is alprazolam, which is most effective for anxiety disorders with biological basis. The right dose of alprazolam, though, differs from patient to patient. Finding the best dose for you may take time, but consulting a good doctor may make it easier.

Understanding anxiety attack symptoms and its signs may help you and others effectively deal with this disorder. With the proper treatment, anyone suffering from anxiety attacks can gradually live a happy and fearless life.
