The KEY point here is your irrational fear. Although your feelings and symptoms are very frightening, they are not dangerous or harmful. Understand that what you are experiencing is just an exaggeration of your normal bodily reactions to stress, and hence they cannot harm you in anyway.

Take one of the most common and worrying symptoms, heart palpitations (heart beating very fast), as an example. The immediate thought is that your suffering from "heart attack" or "stroke", which is totally untrue.

The REAL reason: During a panic attack, the stress biology produced by your body causes the heart rate to increase. It does this so that the body is ready to take action, so that you can run or flee from danger - except that there's no danger!

Give enough time, once the adrenaline is used up, the heart rate will return to its normal range.

This is what panic attack is all about! You body misinterpret the situation and reacted by triggering a panic response. That why you become fearful and confuse. You not suppose to panic for no reason. Its all a misunderstanding created by your body, a misunderstanding which traumatize you.

Thus, the steps toward stopping a panic attack is learning how to come to terms with your irrational fear.
