End the attacks before they get worse.
If you experience these attacks, there is no need to feel any shame.
Many people experience them, including myself.
The American Psychiatric Association's criteria stated that 4 or more of the following physical symptoms of anxiety must be intensely and suddenly present, and reach their peak within ten minutes for diagnosis of panic disorder/anxiety.
So if you are experiencing four or more of these symptoms it is very likely you may be experiencing an anxiety attack.
Here Are The Most Common Physical Symptoms of Anxiety Attacks
- Palpations
- Sweating
- Shaking
- Difficulty breathing
- Tough time swallowing
- Sharp pains in the chest
- Stomach pain
- Vomiting
- Hot and cold flashes
- Fear of losing control all the time
Some of the reasons people don't treat their symptoms are because they fear their symptoms can not be treated.
They also fear others might think differently of them if people find out they have anxiety attacks.
But you need to ask yourself, do you really want to live the rest of your life with these symptoms? Some people think their symptoms are serious physical problems because it is hard for them to accept that they are having a panic attack.
The good news is anxiety attacks can be treated, and nobody has to know about it.
You don't even have to go to the doctors.
All you need is an action plan.
