Panic attacks are the result of your physiological system reacting (most likely to stress your not accustomed to, or a prior event that led you to feel threatened), thus your heart and breathing rate increases ... sending a message to your brain that = DANGER! It's cyclical ... the brain then tells you your in danger (even though none really exists) and your automatic stress triggers kick in and cause you to react as if you were under real threats. When this happens, you get scared, might hyperventalite, pass out, or get dizzy (depending on how you manage your stress). The best way to remedy this is to talk to your family Dr., explain to him the exact circumstances in which your panic attacks occur and he might either refer you to a pyschologist, or locate the factor triggering the attacks. The main thing is to figure out the trigger ... then you can either be coached or learn how to better cope in a situation in which the "trigger" is most likely to occur.

Another way to deal with panic attacks if you feel uncomfortable talking to a dr or psychologist is to talk to yourself (yes i know this is weird). Stop, take deep breaths and tell yourself that everything is okay ... focus on calming down (if it helps ... think of an event coming up your looking forward to, or something you find soothing like the ocean, the hum of a car's engine, a friend or family member ...) ... once you find you can deal with it on your own, you'll likely gain self confidence and they will eventually get less and less intense or dissapear all together ...

I know some of this answer might have been rather technical, for that I'm sorry, but I hope it helped out a bit...

Take care and good luck!

Alyssa

Panic attacks you feel like you cannot breathe, a bit dizzy, like your chest is pounding, very nervous, and like someone is smothering you with a pillowcase.

Panic attacks are more gripping then what you're describing ... Personally, for me, I can't catch my breath, my heart speeds up, my face gets flushed, my chest starts to hurt, and I get dizzy. I always feel like I'm going to die or something, it's very scary.

AdviceMistress answered Tuesday February 22 2005, 11:27 am:
A panic attack is a sudden surge of overwhelming fear that that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than having anxiety or the feeling of being 'stressed out' that most people experience. One out of every 75 people will experience a panic attack at one time in their lives.

What are the symptoms?

raging heartbeat
difficulty breathing, feeling as though you 'can't get enough air
terror that is almost paralyzing
dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea
trembling, sweating, shaking
choking, chest pains
hot flashes, or sudden chills
tingling in fingers or toes ('pins and needles')
fear that you're going to go crazy or are about to die
