Anxiety Attack Symptoms
By Ben
Carmichael
Are you aware
that anxiety attack symptoms can sometimes
mimic physical problems? Every single one of us has experienced what
it’s like
to be anxious. From childhood, where you may be feeling nervous about
school,
to adulthood, feeling nervous about a change at work, anxiety is a
normal part
of every person’s life.
Worrying is a
natural part of being human, and you
wouldn’t be normal if you didn’t worry at one time or another. But when
worry
crosses a line and leaves you unable function throughout the day, you
could be
having a problem with anxiety.
The feeling
itself isn’t bad to have. Anxiety works to
keep us out of trouble. When you’re out hiking in the woods and come
across a
bear, for example, anxiety is a perfectly natural reaction. That’s a
healthy
anxiety and one that can work for your benefit because it shows you
that you
need to get away from whatever danger is in front of you.
The emotion is healthy when it comes as it’s needed to
help us or when it appears in relation to a situation or event where a
person
would normally experience it. What makes it a problem is when anxiety
begins to
pop up at unnatural times. You find that you can’t function around
other
people, and you can’t function during your day-to-day activities. You
might
feel like you can’t function at all.
The anxiety
attack symptoms you should be aware of arrive
as physical signs. Losing sleep, trouble falling asleep at night, or if
you’re
able to go for days with no sleep, are signs of extreme anxiety. You
might even
feel tired, but no matter how much you want to sleep, you just can’t.
Another way
this emotion shows up is found in the way the
heart reacts. Anxiety causes the heart to pound like you’re very
frightened or
you’ve finished a long, hard run. You may begin to breathe faster in
shorter,
quicker breaths. Headaches that rebound or won’t go away are a sign
that
something’s going on, too. You might begin to shake or have periods
where you
feel dizzy.
Other
symptoms include hyperventilating and panic that
cloaks you with a heaviness you can’t shake. You might experience a
sense of
impending doom, even when you know nothing is going on externally to
bring on
that feeling.
The time
lapse for an episode can vary from mere seconds to
almost an hour. They may come and go several times throughout the day
or you
may have one on one day but nothing the next. There might not be a
pattern at
all to when you get the symptoms.
Anxiety
attack symptoms can be very scary to go through,
but they can be managed with the right tools you need to learn how to
cope with
the anxiety. Yes, it’s scary, but you don’t have to live in the fear.
There is
help available.

Health and Humor
Voltaire
(and your grandmother) recognized long ago
that humor and laughter are good for you. You've probably noticed
yourself that
you simply feel better after a good belly laugh. The problem, of
course, is
that your sense of humor generally abandons you right when you need it
the most
– on the tough days. But if you manage to bring your sense of humor to
your
daily conflicts on your job, your relationship with your spouse and
children,
and your health or financial problems, you'll go a long way toward
improving
the quality of your life; and you'll boost your physical health and
well-being.
