Anxiety attack symptoms-chest pain, and how to handle anxiety


One of the most unpleasant symptoms of anxiety attack is chest pain. But don't worry, you won't have a heart attack. Chest pain is just one of many symptoms may occur during the anxiety.

What are the symptoms of anxiety?

In addition to the typical chest pain anxiety attack symptoms are; trembling, tightness in the chest/neck, shortness of breath, hot/cold flashes, nausea, dizziness, tingling in the fingers, feeling some disorientation and condemn the participant, etc.

As you can see that it may be a sign of other conditions, that you are always the best to visit your doctor for a proper diagnosis. This article is written in, provided that you have suffered a real anxiety.

What causes anxiety attack symptoms?

Believe it or not the attack is the result of your body's natural reaction to what he perceives as the primeval threat to it. It is the natural reaction, which helped people thousands of years ago to fight or flee from the imminent danger.

No "character" the danger of chemical reactions very quickly around the body, to help increase the speed of thought, the vision, physical strength and speed, etc. It gave us a chance as possible to fight and win, or fled to safety.

But today you are extremely unlikely to strike the enemy in the high street and a wild animal! Instead, pick up on your body suddenly increased fear, stress or anxiety, as a sign that there is an imminent danger and so raises the reaction of the "fight or flight".

Chemical reactions are then set in motion, but you will be confused, because you are not aware of the physical threats, so the result is that these chemical reactions are you as symptoms of anxiety.

What triggers anxiety?

I really do not need many cause an attack. But the key starting point is that a person's level of anxiety, fear or stress, so a higher than normal.

They are the people who are going through a period in their lives, where are the stress and worry about the issues, events, situations, etc., in a manner that is in proportion to their seriousness.

So that daily event, such as buying in the supermarket, being stuck in traffic, interview, etc., to add to your already increased anxiety and so raises anxiety enough to trigger your body's fight or flight response, the result are the symptoms of anxiety.

What to do when you have anxiety.

The first thing is to remember that the attack could not do anything wrong. During the attack if pressured, you experience the symptoms are just your body's natural reaction to the perception of the danger that really exists at all, is halfway to defeat the attack.

Breath slowly and rhythmically and try him out than in. Focus on what's going on around you, so that you become distracted from the symptoms. You will not be able to stop the symptoms at the same time, but you will be able to greatly reduce the length of the attack.

But what is to prevent further attacks?

One of the key issues is the real fear have another attack. And not surprisingly, the experience of anxiety is so terrible, that you do not want to go through that again, I know that I was there!

But here's the thing: that fear may itself cause more anxiety. Remember the above as I talked about fear being added to the already increased anxiety? Well, that's what can happen to you while the terrified of another attack may cause what you fear!

You must break the vicious cycle of anxiety by removing your fear of attack. And that his fear head-on (see below).
