why am i having panic attacks?

Question

what causes panik attacks are they normal.

Answer 1

Usually a lot of stress does or anxiety so try to get your priorities straight.

Answer 2

Last year I had panic attack three times. First time I didn't even know what it was thinking it was heart attack. I was in a bus and quickly want to get out of the bus because I felt I can't breathe at all. My heart beat was very fast. I immediately went to see a doctor and she couldn't tell what it was. She thought it was my thyroid gland because my hands are shaking. She took my blood sample for test. I was given a pill to relax me. The test result was negative. Personally I did some research from the internet and library and realise I had panic attack. If I want to get well, I have to help myself. No one else can do that for me. Medicine is not always the solution. Now I am perfectly OK.
It is true that it is all in the mind and stressful life. Whatever problem we have, we should try telling someone or as many people as possible. There is always some people out there willing to lend their ears and I am one of them. It is always good to have friends around rather than alone in the flat.
Loneliness is also one of the causes.
So lets get rid of PANIC ATTACK once and for all.

Have you ever heard of POST TRAUMATIC STRESS SYNDROME ?? It is smilier to someone having gone to WAR and back. Unsuppressed memories, unhappy childhood, something that caused you great grief in your past . Could be something that you are having to deal with in the present that you do no feel strong enough to handle !! Please go to a Psychologist and get some help most insurances pay for this. If not seek a low income clinic. Educate your self in this problem you are having..there is a root behind it. Read Melody Bettie's book called co-dependent no more and see if it does not hit home. Go to library and read the self help books. Another one is by Melody Bettie's book called Facing co-depends. Dr.Dyane Dyer has one called your erroneous zones it really helps people too.

Answer 4

stress is the main cause of panic attacks. exercise is very good and some kind of relaxation classes are good too. this is just my opinion but a trip to the doctors is the last resort as they might put u on medication. i think beating stress the natural way is much better

Answer 5

Panic attacks are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain which can successfully be treated with medication prescribed by a family physician or a specialist, such as a psychiatrist.

Answer 6

See your doctor. If it helps, some forms of birth control can cause panic attacks. But even if you're not on contraception, yeah, doctor.
