Anxiety Attack Symptoms - Curing by Knowing
Identifying your anxiety attack symptoms can be the most important part of controlling your attack. Most anxiety attacks start with some very simple and mild symptoms that when recognized incorrectly lead to much more severe attacks.
Learning what the different symptoms do and the risks they carry will allow you to conquer an attack. Once learned you will be able to detect the symptoms in their early stages and stop them before a full blown anxiety attack occurs.
While everyone has different anxiety attack symptoms there are several main symptoms everyone should know of. The big three are irregular heart beating, dizzyness, and trouble breathing.
Anxiety Attack Symptoms to Look out for:
1. Heavy heart beating is often times one of the first symptoms one will experience when an attack begins. Oftentimes the beating will be rapid and loud, leading you to believe that you will have a heart attack an die. Oftentimes this fear of death will send the anxiety attack even deeper into chaoes. The key is to realize that this is not true at all, you will never actually be harmed or killed by this or any other anxiety attack symptom.
2. Trouble breathing is often part of the anxiety attack symptom mix. Often described as short and rapid your breathe during an attack can cause you to believe you are suffocating. Like with the heart attack this fear of impedending death often leads to a much worse attack in the end. In reality you will never suffocate, there is actually nothing dangerous going on, it’s important to recognzie your breathing will return back to normal right after the attack.
3. The last of the common symptoms is lightheadedness. This symptom can cause a person to believe that they are dizzy or about to faint. It occurs most often in large crowds and chaotic events. The key to this symptom is knowing that you will not actually faint but are just dizzy. It is easier to pretend that you just spun in circles a couple times like when a child.
The key to any anxiety attack in the end is knowing the symptoms. If you know what you are up against the attack will be nowhere near as scary as before. Like knowing there is no monster under your bed it’s important to really understand that nothing that happens in an anxiety attack can actually hurt you. If you suffer from attacks on a frequent basis make a point to learn all the anxiety attack symptoms you experience and what triggers them. After that the next time you feel a symptom coming on rationally tell yourself why it is happening and remind yourself that it can’t hurt you.
