The obvious: Panic attacks are caused by high anxiety.
Anxiety is probably the most basic of all emotions. While anxiety, by
its nature, is an unpleasant sensation, it is not by any means dangerous.
One of the biggest myths surrounding anxiety is that it is harmful and can lead
to a number of various life-threatening conditions.
Definition of Anxiety
Anxiety is defined as a state of apprehension or fear resulting from the
anticipation of real or imagined threat, event, or situation. It is one of the most
common human emotions experienced by people at some point in their lives.
However, most people who have never experienced a panic attack, or extreme
anxiety, fail to realize the terrifying nature of the experience. Extreme dizziness,
blurred vision, tingling and feelings of breathlessness—and that’s just the tip of
the iceberg!
When these sensations occur and people do not understand why,
they feel they have contracted an illness, or a serious mental condition. The
threat of losing complete control seems very real and naturally very terrifying.
Fight/Flight Response
I am sure most of you have heard of the fight/flight response as an explanation
for your condition. Have you made the connection between this response and
the unusual sensations you experience during and after a panic attack?
