Cure Panic Attacks The Best Way

Copyright (c) 2009 Riley West

What is easy about panic attacks? In particular, what could be easy about curing panic attacks?

People talk about these attacks like they are separate from anxiety. They aren’t.

But there is one outstanding difference about general anxiety as compared to these attacks.

You can cure panic attacks.However, in my opinion you CAN”T cure anxiety, but you can lower it to a point that it is easily tolerable.

So, think about this…anxiety is fear. Panic attacks are super-anxiety. Still fear. I guess you could say that panic attacks are super-fear. Fear gone out of control.

For me it went like this. I would have a business meeting scheduled. I don’t know why I set up business meetings because, during my period of ongoing attacks, I was terrified of the idea of having a panic attack in the meeting.

I would walk into a business meeting afraid that an attack was inevitable. And, sure enough, a panic attack would ensue.

I would make all kinds of excuses for why I was sweating profusely but that didn’t work to lower my panic attack. I think it maybe made it worse.

I knew my business associates thought I was weird or at least behaving oddly, but for some reason I couldn’t level with them. I just couldn’t explain it.

I didn’t contribute much to our meetings, since I could barely hang on to the conversation due to insane thoughts racing around in my head.

This situation was becoming intolerable. I had been having these attacks and the generally elevated anxieties for 6 years! It had the potential to wreck my business and my life, certainly my social life.

Then, one day, as I was stopped at an intersection it came to me. I wanted to cure panic attacks and while I was thinking about it I became aware of the fact that I had endured hundreds of these attacks and, as far as I could see, I wasn’t hurt.

I was unharmed physically, at least, and my mental state hadn’t gotten worse so I came to the conclusion that these panic attacks weren’t all that dangerous, they were just fear gone out of control, and that, if I didn’t fear them, that would be the end of them.

I didn’t realize at the time that I had stumbled onto the key thing that will enable a person to walk away from panic attacks.

My big mystery was how to pull THAT off!

Believe it or not, I did it by realizing, all at once, that the attacks were not dangerous, that they were capable of ruining my life, and that I was mad. As in angry. I hated the fact that I had six years of my life fouled up by these pernicious attacks.

I think there are far better ways to cure panic attacks than to go through all I had to go through, but I made it out.

Because of what I had realized now and the anger I felt, I was not afraid of these things anymore. Actually, I was anticipating the next time a panic attack tried to rear it’s ugly head because I was going to kick it off. I was just going to seize that attack and throw it off the train! I never got the chance. It was over.

Later I found out that the key to curing panic attacks is enabling a sufferer to get to the point of no longer fearing the attacks. It worked for me!

You can get your life back!

The Key to Curing Panic Attacks

You would be surprised at how many people visit the emergency room because of a heart attack when the reality is they are only experiencing a panic attack. That will give you an idea of how intense the symptoms of a panic attack can be.

First let’s look at the different physical symptoms that indicate you might be having a panic attack.

Shortness of breath

Trembling or shaking

Sweating

Tightness of the chest

Inability to focus or sit still

Chills or hot flashes

Not only do people experience physical symptoms with panic attacks, but there are psychological symptoms as well. Here is a list of the most common psychological symptoms people experience when having a panic attack or experience while expecting a panic attack to happen:

Fear of losing control

Fear of dying

Agoraphobia or fear of public places

Feelings of unreality

Depression

Potential tendency to turn to substance abuse

For people dealing with recurring panic attacks it can be difficult for family members or loved ones to fully understand what you are going through if they have never experienced a panic attack before.

Sometimes you may feel like you are forced to face the panic attacks alone because your closest friends and family may think you are simply trying to get attention or may quickly lose patience with you because they don’t see it as a big problem.

It’s important to understand that you are not alone in your dealings with panic attacks or anxiety disorder. Many people commonly experience these types of symptoms throughout their lives. Some more than others, but you are not as alone as you may think you are when dealing with these type of problems.

Rest assured panic attacks are not as life threatening as some people think them to be. The cure for panic attacks lies in how you handle the panic attack symptoms. Controlling your thoughts is the key to controlling the power the symptoms have over your mind and body.

If you are unsure whether or not the symptoms are from a panic attack it is a good idea to visit your doctor to get checked out. Even if you are absolutely sure you are experiencing a panic attack it doesn’t hurt to have a doctor investigate the symptoms you are experiencing.

Most importantly remember that panic attacks can be treated without the use of medication, and most people just need someone to help guide them in the right direction.
