Clairejp asked:
I have been suffering from social anxiety since I was around 14. This eventually developed into panic attacks. I had Cognitive Behavioral Therapy recently for 6 months which was hard to fit around the job I do but has lessened my social anxiety greatly. I am still finding it hard to cure myself of these Panic attacks though, It’s as if I can talk myself through them and they are not as scary but it is so draining coping with them. Does anyone have any advice?

darren asked: Anxiety attacks are a very common problem and the last thing any of us want is to stop popping pills for every ailment, so in this article we will look at natural ways to cure anxiety. Anxiety can come from a number of root causes such as situational, phobias we have, genetic problems and adapting to an enviroment. These situations bring on symptoms such as heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, and a feeling of no control are just some of the many feelings this problem can bring on.
To find natural ways to cure anxiety we will need to look at the symptoms that are being experienced and then tracking them back to a root cause, because these anxiety or panic attacks can range from the mild to the absolute dangerous and even the mild ones are no fun at all. In some cases you could feel the effects for days as your body tries to get back to normal after a severe attack.
When people experience a panic attack or anxiety attack for the first time they will have a large sense of fear and a lot will think they are having a heart attack, as they will feel a tightness in the chest and your heart will be racing. The addition of fear that you will naturally feel will compound this problem and will produce a vicious circle. In these cases it will be hard to notice symptoms and what caused them as you will not feel in control at all, but as you become more experienced to these attacks you can start to have a plan as to what starts these and what can be done about it.
Always remember not to try and rationalize these causes during an attack as your mind set is negitive and your mind is not at it’s best. In circumstances like this you will always look at the down side and will make things worse and not better. When you feel your anxiety subside, find a quiet and calming room in which to sit and take stock of what you were doing and thinking to have caused this panic attack. This will be the start of a natural cure for anxiety because when you see what are triggering these anxiety attack symptoms then you can teach yourself to overcome these initial fears and stop the attacks before they start without the need for medication that can sometimes make things worse. You never want to be dependant on drugs for anything.
In conclusion to or quest to find natural anxiety cures you must remember that knowledge is king. When you experience anything for the first time it is a bit scary and with anxiety it is this fear of not knowing what is going on that feeds these attacks and makes them worse. Once you identify these root causes and get the facts so they don’t scare you then you are on your way to stopping your anxiety disorders naturally and getting your happy life back on track.
Good luck and be well.

Shane Wilson asked: In the past, anxiety had been given a bad rap. You wouldn’t think it, but anxiety is a naturally occurring human reaction. As our body reacts to stimuli it products adrenaline that can help us deal with the problem at hand. In a select few cases, a panic attacks anxiety disorder can arise.
A range of emotions can encompass an anxiety disorder like anything from feeling nervous to uncontrollable feelings of fright and terror. Fortunately, anxiety is a fairly common disorder that is treatable. Most people find relief via medication or through therapy.
There are many people out there that inquire as to how they can figure out whether they are afflicted with a panic attacks anxiety disorder. To help decipher this you can look out for the following signs: nausea, uncontrollable thoughts, dizziness, heavy breathing, tightness in the chest or pains increased heartbeat to name a few. Of course you’ll want to seek the advice of a professional before trying to diagnose this yourself.
It would be hard to find someone out there who does not fear a single thing. The problem here is that a select few of us enable these fears to hold us back from having a productive and normal life. These fears are more commonly referred to as phobias. I am sure you have heard at some point in your life someone being disabled by a phobia. For example, Arachnophobia which is actually a title of a Hollywood movie is a fear of spiders. Another one would be the uncontrollable fear of open places or Agoraphobia. Many of the same symptoms that are experienced during panic or anxiety attacks are also felt when succumbing to a phobia.
We can take this a step further and include post-traumatic stress disorder which is commonly diagnosed to our solders after war. This disorder also known as PTSD, happens after an individual experiences, participates or witnesses an event such as war, torture, death or any form of other traumatic circumstances. A few characteristics of this disorder include persistent nightmares and acute panic or anxiety attacks. Also, people with this disorder have issues sleeping and concentrating. Luckily, these types of problems are pretty rare when it comes to panic attacks anxiety disorders.
As we seek to find a cure for our panic attacks anxiety disorders, it is helpful to try and uncover what caused them. To help narrow your search down it would be helpful to know when and where the infraction happened. As our advances in drug therapy and psychology continue to press forward, so does the cure rate for these life changing problems. With these advances, it is no longer a burden to carry around these types of conditions.

Are you one who suffers from panic attacks? Do you have a greater chance of getting anxiety or panic disorders? Do you know what the anxiety panic attack symptoms are? Some of these symptoms will be outlined in this article along with information on exactly was a panic attack is and how they happen.
One out of every three Americans suffers from some sort of panic or anxiety disorders according to many sources. As the demands of life in the global economy become strenuous and harmful this number in steadily rising. Sudden urges of overwhelming emotions are the basics of panic attacks and often include fear or heavy stress that comes without warning. An estimated 75 million people every year throughout the world are affected by these attacks.
Symptoms
In and of itself an anxiety panic attack symptom can be dangerous and very different. The symptoms themselves can be harmful, but also having a full-on panic attack and its outcome can be deadly. To get help with your symptoms and deal with your problem you should talk with your medical professional. Therapy or medication may be two solutions but there can also be variations on a combination of the two.
A raging heartbeat, hot flashes or chills, choking, chest pains, sweating, trembling, shaking, difficulty breathing, sudden overwhelming fear, fear of sudden death or injury for no reason, anxiousness, fearfulness, general feelings of dread, dizziness, light-headedness and any number of other similar symptoms are ones that come with a panic attack.
Of most afflictions, panic is the one that makes the fastest changes to the human bodies makeup. This is because the body is often overwhelmed from the attack which is so sudden and overtakes many of the bodily systems so that is just shuts down. Panic attacks generally appear as other medical problems which makes very doctors and other medical professionals unprepared and ill-equipped to diagnose chronic anxiety and panic attacks properly.
Seek Professional Help
There are a variety of anxiety panic attack symptoms and they typically represent a variety of other afflictions. Gathering a variety of opinions is important for this reason in case you believe you are having frequent panic attacks. Panic attack is often incorrectly diagnosed by many medical professionals as a symptom or a surface problem. To properly diagnose an anxiety or panic attack as a chronic problem it can often take several visits to a physician.

ReRe asked: I probably do have a panic disorder (family history), but it’s strange because I don’t have that anxiety, that all-of-a-sudden fear that most panic attacks have. My symptoms are:
Chest pains
Sudden Dizziness
Heart Palapatations, followed by sudden loss of breath (just a few seconds long)
Heartburn (I don’t know if this relates to it)
FYI: They all don’t come at once.
If somebody knows what I’m going through or is a doctor, please give me your opinion.
Thanks.

Louise asked: Hi,
my boyfriend of 3 months has always been honest about his anxiety and how it may affect our relationship, namely that he occasionally has panic attacks about us (some, although not all, are about how he would feel if things went wrong with me, based on a past relationship, and mixes up those bad feelings with his feelings about me). He is on medication which helps a lot, but sometimes he does have panic attacks out of the blue. I was hoping that someone (particularly someone who also suffers from anxiety) would have some advice for me – What is the best way for me to react to these attacks? How can I calm him down? I know that I can’t change or cure him, I just want some advice to help him cope with these attacks. We have talked about it, but he has only recently recognized that he has an anxiety disorder, so doesn’t know himself the best way to cope with it.
Thanks, Louise
No he isn’t seeing a therapist at the moment – he has seen councilors in the past, but not since being diagnosed. I will suggest that to him – thanks for your advice Cassie! x

Ms. Moonbeam asked: Do you ever suffer from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronic fatigue and or fibromalgia pain? If so have any or all of these symptoms caused you to be unable to get out of your house or prevent you from driving or loss of desire to do aanywhere?
I was just wondering if anyone could be experiencing any or all of the same symptoms I have. The culmination of depression, CFS/Fibromalgia and anxiiety has caused me to lose interest in anything and I panic at the thoughts of having to get dressed a leave my home. In fact, I do not even look forward to visitors. Am I losing my mind? What is wrong with me? How can I overcome this? I **** to think I have to live like this rest of my life.I do not enjoy TV. I read occassionally or use my computer.
I am on medication for my depression and seeing a couselor but nothing seems to help. I have no energy or desire for anything. I am just sleepy and tired all the time but cannot sleep. How can I overcome this illness?

Its Me Cree asked:
I got my very first shot three months ago and I began to have panic attacks at night. I also am constantly worried about stopping breathing at night and I have chest pain. I am constantly paranoid and have terrible mood swings. I consulted my doctor and she assured me these effects were NOT caused by depo provera, so I got my second shot. Shortly after I did some research and noticed many other women experienced the same thing while on depo provera. All my symptoms are still present and getting worse, and my question is are there any other women experiencing the same thing? Has this shot caused any permanent mental damage in anyone? And is there anyway to reverse the side effects or do I just have to wait out the three months?

Heather asked: Please only help if you’re going to be serious about this.
Okay, this might be a little long, but please help. So, for about 4 months now I’ve changed completely. I was the one who always loved being outgoing and being around friends and having a good time, until about 4 months ago when everything suddenly changed. I started getting scared over everything, I would have sudden panic attacks, I’d always expect the worst, I would have horrible headaches/stomach aches. Well, I never told my parents or doctor, which was a mistake, but now my mom figured it out and she’s trying to get help for me. I didn’t think it was all that serious until Friday at school when I had a sudden panic attack in the bathroom with my friend before lunch and I fell down shaking and couldn’t control myself. I’ll be going back to the doctor soon of course, but the only thing that could possibly help me is seeing some person who I could talk and who could help me.
Other things:
- Feeling tense
- Unable to make decisions
- Stomach aches
- Lack of appetite
- Chest Pain
- Muscle Pain
Any opinions, advice, information? Anything’s appreciated. Thanks in advance.
