Causes of Panic Attacks Scientifically Explained
A lot of money is made by doctors and drug companies off of people who unfairly have to suffer with panic and anxiety attacks. Because of this there is new research all the time and one of the main reasons why panic attacks continually pop up in your life is due to unhealthy levels of stress.
Other factors like mental genetics and chemical imbalances are there as well but many times unhealthy stress can activate these as well. That said panic and anxiety are something you can control 100%.
Anxiety attacks usually begin in the brain and cause all the affects from there...
You might be wondering at that point what is going on in the brain. Oxygen that is carried to the brain is responsible for the stability of the levels of different chemicals. That's why exercise is one of the best ways to fight anxiety... it increases the amount of oxygen delivered to your brain.
But different forms of unhealthy stress can be very hard to manage and they are thrown on you multiple times during the day. It's like an evil little circle... stress causes anxiety and anxiety cause more which leads to panic and then it can just snowball from there.
That's why medication is not a proper way to go about fighting anxiety... once you stop taking it you will continue to suffer.
There are two ways that I think are best... self help or hire a doctor for some therapy. Personally I think the self help way is better because you can be more honest... not to mention there are great tools out there to help.
If you are going to hire a doctor to help you then there are some things to consider. One you will have to bend to not only their personal schedule, but their length of time to talk with you. Things could actually get worse because of that and there is not a lot that you can do about it.
However on the other hand... using self help methods can work for you for pretty much your entire life. During the process you will understand your problem and discover things about you that give you greater control. And on top of that the confidence you will build will give you a very tight grip on your anxiety.
