Are you having an anxiety attack or panic attack?
Ten minutes ago you were sitting at your desk working on that important report. Now your heart is beating hard, your sweat has soaked your shirt and your feet are going numb. In fact, you feel so awful that you think you might be having a heart attack. Are you? Maybe. Maybe not. That horrible thing you’re experiencing could be an anxiety or panic attack.
What are anxiety or panic attacks?
Anxiety or panic attacks are sudden feelings of acute, disabling and often quite terrifying anxiety.
Anxiety and panic attacks can happen very suddenly and without any warning. The first few times they happen many people call 911, thinking that they’re experiencing a life-threatening emergency. But after that they learn to recognize the symptoms when they occur.
What are the symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks?
Although different people experience them differently, there are always two components to an anxiety or panic attack: mental/emotional and physiological.
The mental and emotional symptoms may include:
- Feelings of fear, terror or dread
- Feeling like you’re “going crazy”
- Uncontrollable obsessive negative thoughts
- Repeated thoughts and memories of traumatic events
Physical symptoms may include:
- Accelerated heart beat
- Sweating
- Difficulty breathing
- Feeling like you’re going to pass out
- Numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
- Nausea or other sudden digestive issues
What can you do to stop having anxiety or panic attacks?
In my 18 years as a Hypnotist helping people overcome the things that are holding them back, I’ve seen that anxiety-related issues can be absolutely debilitating. I’ve also seen how successful hypnosis can be in eliminating anxiety – and the anxiety or panic attacks it causes – from its source. My unique 5-session hypnotherapy program is designed to eliminate problems at their root…permanently.
