Anxiety Attacks: What Are The Symptoms And Signs?

What is an anxiety attack? A mortal experiences an anxiety attack if he/she experiences a short period of overwhelming fear that comes on with no warning and occurs without a particular reason. Even though it can be a one-time event, oftentimes it becomes an ongoing problem. For people who are experiencing anxiety attacks twice or more in a month are advised to consult their physician because most likely, they might have an anxiety or panic disorder.

Indeed, a regular anxiety attack can prevent the mortal from living a normal and a happy life. Sad to say, anyone- regardless of age, gender, race and economic background, can have an anxiety attack.

Although physicians and caregivers don’t know for sure what really brings on an anxiety attack, studies have already shown that there are some health conditions and medications that trigger an anxiety attack such as withdrawing from alcohol or illegal drugs, fear of having another anxiety attack, or plainly the issue of heredity.

Although there are other physical and emotional symptoms associated with an anxiety attack, it can bring on feelings of loneliness and a feeling of being out-of-touch with other people as well as extreme fear and symptoms of a serious health problem.

The most intense symptoms of an anxiety attack usually peak within ten minutes and rarely, some last for hours but in most cases, it rarely last longer than 30 minutes and much worse, the psychological symptoms can last much longer.

Uncertain of when it will come, a mortal having an anxiety problem might have an anxiety attack once a week or a series of anxiety attacks followed by months and months of no anxiety attacks making life challenging for those who have it.

Some people become afraid of having an anxiety attack coming at an inappropriate moment to the extent that they are afraid to leave the comfort and country of their homes (agoraphobia) or fear of open spaces. Good to know that only very few experience anxiety attacks in open spaces.

Sometimes, even after a diagnosis is prefabricated and a particular treatment begins, the mortal often convinces himself that the situation causing the anxiety attack will further cause numerous future anxiety attacks. So, what the mortal does is he mortal avoids that situation.

It has been proven that anxiety attack which causes agoraphobia is two times more common in women compared to men and some people are well-known like Kim Basinger and Barbara Streisand.
