The panic disorder symptoms you just saw in the video are spot on but there are many more.
Below is the list of symptoms I got elsewhere.
- Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
- Dizziness or unsteadiness
- Chest pain or discomfort
- Sweating
- Muscle pain, especially in neck or shoulders
- Choking sensations or lump in throat
- Skin losing color
- Urgently needing to urinate or defecate
- Shaking visibly or inside
- Chills or hot flushes
- Inappropriate/Disturbed thoughts
- Feeling light-headed
- Derealization (feeling unreal or dreamy)
- Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations
You would know when you have a panic attack. There’s a big change in the way you feel when you are threatened by a panic attack. The main cause of a panic attack is fear and anxiety. Because anxiety is the product of fear, it does not matter whether the fear itself is irrational or not. You have to be careful about fear and anxiety because they can easily take control of your mind if you don’t know how to handle it. Adrenaline can bring about a lot of other problems like increased heart rate and tiredness.
Probably the best approach for handling anxiety is to control your thoughts and not let it control you. These thoughts rob you off your mental energy, put you on edge and clutter your minds. Your mind often goes on autopilot and more unwanted thoughts come in resulting in more anxiety. Things will seem to get worse to no end.
By first being aware of your thoughts you can then let it run its course until they go away. You know what I mean right? Sometimes the thought are there but it doesn’t necessarily mean you are aware of them. But you would surely be aware of its effects if you don’t acknowledge it. You can be in much better shape by simply taking notice of what you’re thinking at any given moment. You can even go further by making it a point to ask yourself what you’re thinking at any moment. You can control it but you have to be aware first.
Most of your unwanted thoughts would probably go away once you are aware of it. Practice this and make it a habit and you’ll be on your way to becoming anxiety free.
