Answer 1

You might start by considering yourself normal and expecting yourself to recover. Post traumatic stress syndrome is a normal reaction to severely abnormal things, but doesn't need to become a permanent condition unless you let it. Perhaps you need to find activities to occupy you so you have less time to sit and listen to the blood beating in the veins and arteries in your head. Find something productive to do with your time and energy. Volunteer, get a hobby, rediscover a hobby you used to enjoy, Instead of concentrating on finding things which aggrivate the problem- like pressing your head just so on the pillow- quit doing it and look for the things which take your mind elsewhere. If you were okay before the hurricane, you will be okay again. The hurricane happened over a year ago, it's time now to let the past go and get on with the business of living now, and for the future. Take control of your life, find a productive use of your time and energies, and you should find life improves for you.

The main symptom of a Panic Anxiety Disorder is the panic attack itself. Panic Anxiety Disorder is a medical disorder characterized by severe and sudden episodes.

It is important to mention that sudden episodes of the symptoms listed above caused by another reasonable cause are not panic attacks. Two such reasonable causes would be (1) a certain medical ailment that might mimic a panic attack, or (2) a life threatening experience immediately preceding the attack. If these reasonable causes are found not be the cause of the problem then there is the possibility of a Panic Disorder.

Panic attacks reach maximum intensity within a minute or two once they begin. They diminish slowly over the next 30 minutes or the next several hours. It is common for the first attack to cause a person to go to an emergency medical facility. Subsequent attacks occur several times a month and are often as severe as the initial attack.

About three fourths of Panic Disorder patients are women. Panic Anxiety Disorder begins most often when people are 20-30 years old. It begins less often in teenagers or persons in their forties. It is uncommon for the disorder to appear in the elderly for the first time.

It is important to note that although a few experts say it is more common in persons who experienced a separation experience as a child, many of experts feel that Panic Anxiety Disorder afflicts emotionally healthy people. Persons having Panic attacks are no more likely than the average American to have suffered from emotional problems at the time the disorder begins.

Symptoms of a Panic Attack
raging heartbeat
difficulty breathing, feeling as though you 'can't get enough air
terror that is almost paralyzing
nervous, shaking, stress
heart palpitation, feeling of dread
dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea
trembling, sweating, shaking
choking, chest pains, distress
fear, fright, afraid, anxious
hot flashes, or sudden chills
tingling in fingers or toes ('pins and needles')
fearful that you're going to go crazy or are about to die
