PANIC ATTACKS
Panic Attack is having a sudden bout of intense fear that can trigger severe reactions in the physical body. Though there is no real danger one can still be triggered by an underlying fear which can bring about this situation. These attacks can be frightening for one to experience or even witness. It would be very similar to like someone is having a heart attack or losing control on self. In some extreme cases, they feel that they are about to die.
Normally due to excessive stress or stressful situations one may have one or two experiences in life. But if the issues is recurring and treatment is needed due to the unexpected panic attacks and constantly living in fear that you may have an attack now, it’s time to get this treated.
Though Panic Attacks are not life threatening to experience one can be an experience by itself which can actually leave a person shaken from his/ her roots. This can also affect the quality of life one is living as the experience can be pretty frightening. Though these can be treated easily and the symptoms removed.
There can be warnings and the panic attacks can begin suddenly and at anytime- maybe while driving a car, middle of a meeting, shopping or in sleep. In short there is no time and place Panic Attacks can happen to anyone and everyone.
There can be variations in the Panic Attack, but symptoms usually peak within minutes of the onset of the attack. One may feel fatigued, weak or worn out after having a Panic Attack.

One may experience one of these symptoms or some of them. One such attack would bring about one to fear such a repeat and may start avoiding certain places to avoid the onset. As no one can actually point at a trigger or warning sign. Moreover in the process, we may actually start manifesting the attacks over a period of time as we are highly fearful of the same. We never intend to do it nor would wish for it but the fear within us would bring this onto us.

The above are some simple steps where one can help themselves to avoid having panic attacks. You may not have immediate results, over a period of time when you start feeling a little more in control and the attacks slowing down.
One of the main reasons for the panic attacks is suppressed emotions especially certain emotions that were triggered due to some trauma, awkward situations, rejection, loss, or death. Suppressed emotions being the biggest trigger one should and must address these issues and emotions and get them healed periodically.
Often we push ourselves into denial or ignore the warnings that come to mind all the signals being given by a physical body just cause we’re not prepared to deal with the suppressed emotions. To heal from the panic attack periodic healing, counseling would very much be needed.
We can never say we have everything in control because as long as internally we can control but externally we are unable to control situations and the outcome of situations.
This can actually leave a person feeling highly frustrated, helpless and this could bring him out a major issue within us when not addressed could become a suppressed emotion of anger, fear. When we understand and acknowledge the fact that everything is not in our control and also being mindful that we need to let go would help us a lot.
For a person who’s actually going through a panic attack these kinds of reasonings would hold no good as for them, it’s like the world is crashing around them. As family and loved ones, we should be watchful and mindful and assist them through this process. Especially if they have slipped into a depression due to the attacks they would very much need handholding and support not only from a counselor or a healer but also from the family members.
Allow yourself to nurture and heal yourself often, the time and money spent on self is nothing but self-investment.
Suppressed Emotions can become a trigger for many issues it is always good to address them and release them.
