By Beth Kaminski "Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who's the most worried of them all?" Do sufferers really feel the problematic aspect involved in it. The question might have been replied genuinely in the last decade which most sufferer know.Had it been merely worry, one would not view the scenario with much alarm. However, it is quite worse than that. The ordinary worry and the everyday hassle have catapulted into severe anxiety and panic attack for many of us. There are so many of us who have been facing a pseudo myocardial infarction like situation, even as we allow the panic disorder to run riot with our physiology. Are we taking proper steps to stop panic attacks? Let us begin by trying to understand what panic attacks are. Many symptoms of anxiety attacks are noticed which occur on short periods. They are increased hear beat, trembling, sweating, hot flushes or chills, nausea, giddiness, breathlessness, butterflies in stomach, paresthesias, derealisation and depersonalization amongst others which plague our bodies after attack. How to stop panic attack is a big issue in the present scenario and it needs to be addressed suitably? In fact these attacks create lots of discomforting situations for the sufferers who develop suicidal tendencies due to the fear of death and loosing control over their own personality traits. This mental disorder brings many problems particularly because none can assess it easily when such problem may occur without giving any advance notice. An interesting thing about these disorders is that they may be hereditary - one's genes may predispose one to fall victim to this debilitating syndrome. Sometimes physiological causes and diseases like thyroid malfunction, Vitamin B deficiency, labyrinthitis may also be behind panic attacks. One's phobias, personal traumas, drug and alcohol abuse and also hormonal imbalance, especially in women, may be other culprits. To stop panic attack, one would thus need to check these causative agents. Keep control on your diet and avoid harmful elements like drugs, caffeine and extra alcohol consumption. Ensure that your meals are complete with all nutrients. Always select proper antibiotics even though your infections are minor. You must consult general physicians to sort out minor health problems before it creates unnecessary anxiousness in you which later become a disorder and you are forced to take therapeutic treatment for that. Apply simple remedies like yoga, Thai-Chi, acupressure, acupuncture, ayurvedic massages, spa treatments, laughter therapy, long, warm baths and et al to stop panic attack. Have hyperventilation which is linked with panic disorders due to its special features. Keep control over exhalation process by having sufficient intake of oxygen and required carbon dioxide for maintaining body system. Do deep breathing exercises which helps in controlling panic attacks in emergency. You feel comfort by suppressing panic attacks to occur. Controlling panic disorder is possible through cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). Healthy interactive session is followed between patients and trained psychotherapist who keep encouraging sufferers to discuss mental anguish. In this therapy patients start expressing thoughtful levels and reality about panic attacks. Sufferers are encouraged to speak out positive statements and keep repeating religious chants which help in averting attacks and keeping the impact of attack at the lowest level through timely control. Likewise biofeedback is a highly useful alternative technique of panic disorder medicine to treat sufferers. Some quantifiable parameters are measured in this therapy particularly assessing pulse rate, blood pressure, temperature and sweat gland activity in body thus helping the person associate his/her panicky thoughts with body temperaments. Such techniques support a person having control over physiological functions up to sufficient level. Another unique alternative panic disorder medicine is exposure therapy in which sufferers are deliberately made to encounter with fears in safe environment. Protective eye of trained therapists keep watching the progress. Main purpose of this therapy is convincing patients to know the fact that he/she came out of terror situation without harm that was assumed harmful previously hence this fear factor is nullified. Usually panic attacks are acute hence these panic disorder medicines are preferred for fast work. Benzodiazepine group of medicines are prescribed by therapists. Drugs coming in this group are Diazepam, Alprazolam, Lorazepam and Clonazepam etc. Such medicines have certain side effects as well. Patients may have to rework on his/her tolerance level after longer usage of particular drugs. Such medicines have highest degree of abuse potentiality too. Selective Serotonin reuptake inhibitor is another type of panic disorder medicine whose medicine types are drugs such as paroxetine, sertraline, fluvoxamine, escitalopram or fluoxetine amongt others. Life is too precious to be wasted away in blind, panicky hours. Let serenity become your friend as you oust anxiety from your inside. |
