It is the mind thinking that it is in a stressful environment and it releases adrenalin that makes you sweat (and other symptoms) and want to escape the situation.

Panic attacks are caused by an overload of stress, in young and old people. Some people experience them when they are children, and never get out of them. Other people can cope with them, and as long as we know that everyone feels low in confidence at times, then it makes our panic attacks easier to bear. Sweating is a response to the "fight or flight" syndrome, where we feel that we want to stand up and fight, or run for cover. People experience panic attacks usually when they feel threatened, and if you speak to a friend or a member of your family, you will most probably find that they have experienced them at some time or another. It is just all a part of being human. I do hope that what I have said will help you.

Humans have an in-built 'fight or flee' impluse which gives a sudden burst of adrenalin when needed. As we do not live in fear for our lives, this impulse is not needed as often as it would have been in the times when we lived in the open and were liable to attacks from wild animlas etc. As a result this impulse is normally dormant. The impulse is still there though and modern day stresses and strains can sometimes kick them off. Some peoples stress impulses become more sensitive than others, causing them to have adrenalin rushes even when they're not in mortal danger. If your body has got into the habit of using this impulse you should go to the doctor. Beta blockers can reduce the panics and eventually your body will stabilise, but obviously these will need to be prescribed by a doctor.

there is nothing definate as to why we get panic attacks. All i do know is the some things that dont help, which are alcohol, nicotine or caffiene so try and steer away from these if possible. Your doctor can give u some medication to help calm you down if your attacks are bad. Keep yourself busy as this will take ur mind off things so if u feel one coming on....get up.....go for a walk or something and clear your head a bit.

Life believe me. I was brought up always confused told I was not able to do anything and that i would never amount to anything that was my mother on a daily basis. My father walked out when I was two then he took my only brother. I believed he hated me Mum was always downing me and then surprise surprise I started having panic attacks I was only 8 years old! Then I couldn`t cope with school it goes on and on. The good news is with the right partner and circumstances you can over come it for good and without drugs.

Stuff coming up out of your memories that your conscious brain can't deal with yet. You might have heard/seen/smelled something that started to make you remember a feeling that you needed to forget for a while because it was too overwhelming.
The thing to do is practice breathing and relaxation techniques to help with your immediate panic, but swear to yourself that you will get help to face your old feelings. Imagine there is a kid inside you who needs to be taken care of and you are the ONLY person who can stand up for them, and SWEAR to that kid that you will get help and deal with this situation.
Hang in there, it will get better if you act responsible.

a few years ago I developed a servere case of panic attacks -- it was due to a tragic incident that had happened a year prior. I had pushed all my feelings down and went about my business each day...soon my brain could not handle it anymore and the panic attacks surfaced... it took a year to overcome them w/the help of an anti-depressant... please see a doctor to get the help you need...you cannot do it on your own.

Some people may be more prone to panic attacks, perhaps as a result of behaviour they have learned from their parents, or as a consequence of a personality trait. For example, people who are over-critical of themselves may be more likely to experience panic attacks. However, in some cases panic attacks have a physical cause such as unstable blood sugar levels due to dieting. Certain medications including anti-depressants can have the side effect of causing panic attacks, and withdrawal from substances such as nicotine, alcohol and tranquillisers can have the same effect. If you think you may be suffering from Panic Attacks, it is advisable to see your GP.
