Did you know that there are over 3 million people in the US that will face anxiety panic disorder in their lifetime at any given time? Virtually anyone can experience it, even young children. What is more essential to consider is the sheer extent at which anxiety disorder symptoms can wreak havoc on the life a person. Anxiety panic disorder is a serious condition and one that there is help for. Yet, you have to seek out the help that is needed in order to benefit from anxiety disorder treatment.

What Causes It?

Anxiety panic disorder is often thought of as being a condition that is caused by inherited tendencies. Yet, this does not mean that if your hereditary says it is there that it will happen. Researchers have come to learn that this condition is additionally brought on by other circumstances. Changes in your body chemistry may signal it. Or, more often, life situations, events and circumstances also can play a key role in bringing on a panic attack.

What Happens?

Anxiety attack symptoms will be triggered when a person has this condition. In anxiety panic disorder, these attacks are what are feared the most by those that suffer from it. In most cases, an attack will last, at its highest point, called the peak, for about ten minutes. The build up and come down from an attack can happen over a much longer time. Additionally, once an attack does happen, a person may fear another attack and therefore bring on additional attacks over the course of an hour or more. Several panic attacks in the course of an hour are not unlikely.

What Are Anxiety Attack Symptoms?

While every person will handle their attack in their own way, there are many anxiety attack symptoms that can be present. You may have one or more of these symptoms during an attack.

· Pounding, racing heart. · You may be sweating, without physical exertion. · Shaking, trembling and the inability to control your body movements · Shortness of breath, the feeling that you can not catch your breath. · Chest pain also associated with the racing heart. · Choking or the sensation of doing so. · Nausea or you may feel an ache in your stomach. · Dizziness, lightheadedness, feelings of your legs giving out. · Feeling like you are detached from yourself. · Feelings of losing control, or the fear that you will lose control. · Hot flashes, tingling sensations, numbness, chills, and other bodily reactions. · The fear of dying may also be experienced.

Anxiety panic disorder is also a condition in which you will take your feelings to the next level. If you have had anxiety attack symptoms in a specific place, say while you are driving your vehicle, you may avoid driving again because you are afraid that it will trigger another attack. This can lead to pulling yourself out of your life altogether.

Anxiety panic disorder is a condition that there is treatment for. If you face this or any other anxiety disorder condition, seeking out help through behavioral treatment, medications and alternative treatments can be a very beneficial occurrence. It can save your life.

Breaking Into Pieces.
By: jmdillon | 09-07-2008
Hi all. All I can't say is, help. About a year and a half ago my father was diagnosed with stage IV bladder cancer. Since then it has spread to his lungs, liver and abdomen. Nurses say he has several months. My family is in Ohio and I am working in Washington, DC. I am 23 and my dad is only 55, unfair if you ask me. My dad and I have always been close. He is ordained in the Methodist Church and has worked in the church for years so our family has always been involved together in the church. The last report we got from the doctor is that the masses in his lungs have doubled and tripled in size in the past 2 months since he chose to stop treatment (it was doing more harm than good). So, at 23, i'm dealing with something way beyond what I am prepared for. But, on top of this, my boyfriend of 2.5 years, with whom I live, has decided to go to Cornell (500 miles away) for a graduate program. Sean, my boyfriend, has been my stronghold, my shoulder, my rock since my father was diagnosed. As poorly as I may be handling my father's condition, it has definitley been better than had Sean not been with me to support me. My support system of friends and family are all in Ohio, so Sean is all I have here. My question is, how do I do this? I personally don't think I am emotionally capable of maintaining a healthy long-distance relationship with half of my heart being in Ohio with my family. I need someone to BE there for me. What do I do? How do I end a relationship I never thought would end, and live to see the next day? How does pain like this not kill a person?
