An anxiety attack sometimes referred to, as a panic attack can be a very terrifying experience. The symptoms of anxiety attacks can be very confusing as usually the person has no idea as to why their body is reacting in the manner it is. If you have experienced some of these unusual symptoms (below) while experiencing anxiety let me help you to understand it better and try and put your mind at ease. Firstly anxiety attacks are very treatable. It is very important that you speak with your doctor if you are experiencing these anxiety attack symptoms in order to receive an accurate diagnosis. Getting your anxiety symptoms investigated after you first experience them will help reassure you that nothing more serious might be wrong.
The most common symptoms of anxiety attacks are:
Palpitations, a pounding heart, or an accelerated heart rate Sweating Trembling or shaking Shortness of breath A choking sensation Chest pain or discomfort Nausea or stomach cramps A feeling of being dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint Derealization (a feeling of unreality) or depersonalization (a feeling of being detached from oneself) Fear of losing control or going crazy Fear of dying Numbness or a tingling sensation Chills or hot flashes These are some of the possible symptoms of a anxiety attack but what does it actually feel like to experience one?
Usually an anxiety attack begins with an unusual bodily sensation from the list above. The person then reacts with fear that the symptoms are indicators of a much more serious threat and in turn reacts with more fear which escalates into a state of heightened anxiety. A vicious cycle of anxiety and fear can begin.
Typical situations people report having an anxiety attack are:
Driving Airplanes Crowded areas At Night while sleeping
Often anxiety attacks occur in a situation where the person feels they cannot exit easily from such as a meeting, or out socializing with others. Many can also experience an anxiety attack for no apparent reason while at home or in the middle of sleep.
People who first experience these symptoms feel a sense of foreboding and that there is something terribly wrong with their health. This is understandable as anyone who has experienced an anxiety attack can tell you how unusual the bodily sensations are.
What initially may have been a once off 'out of the blue' anxiety attack, can develop into a perpetual cycle of fear and anxiety if not treated. This cycle can last from weeks to years depending on how much help the person receives. I want to point out that anxiety attacks are not a mental illness. The great news is that this disorder is very treatable. You do not have to fear you will spend your life living with this condition.
More often than not, the symptoms of anxiety attacks cause people to worry that there is some larger problem lurking behind the unusual sensations. If you have experienced anxiety attack symptoms, do not convince yourself that you have a clinical illness. You do not. Experiencing anxiety attacks and their associated symptoms does not mean that you have a physical or mental illness. Your brain is fine your body is fine. You can return to a more relaxed level of living if you follow the steps and psychological techniques I am going to outline for on this site.
Learn to trust is your body. Yes it may be experiencing a wide range of strange anxiety attack symptoms but it is well able to handle this. During an anxiety attack, many of the symptoms are similar to those of a really good workout:
Increased heartbeat rate Sweating Increased bodily sensations Rapid breathing You do not become fearful of these symptoms while exercising and therefore you should not fear them should they be present while experiencing anxiety. The fuel that really drives the anxiety symptoms is anxious thinking. The &ldquowhat if&rdquo thoughts that appear during an anxiety attack create the powerful drive that fuels the anxiety much longer than it would normally last.
In order to extinguish the fuel that drives the anxiety attack we need to eliminate these anxious thoughts. Tackling anxious thinking effectively requires a two-pronged approach. To eliminate the negative thinking patterns, there needs to be a shift in attitude along with specific visualization tools.

High anxiety levels ...
.. can lead to full blown anxiety attacks, also known as panic attacks. We all know that the attacks should be treated by reducing anxiety, but why do we have to do this?
Reducing anxiety levels ultimately results in lesser attacks in the future. This is the best reason for reducing it. How then can we reduce anxiety?
The first step is by formulating a plan for reducing anxiety levels. Identify the highest contributors to anxiety. This may take some time. Sometimes, we may even be surprised that what we consider as simple stuff may be a major contributor to our stress levels. After finishing the list, suggest ways and solutions for every problem you have listed.
Your list may include excessive arguments and inefficient work habits. A solution for excessive arguments would be simply to avoid them. Inefficient work habits may be solved by striving for excellence in your job. This usually takes the pressure and anxiety off it. Reduce your watching of depressing or negative world events. Watch funny shows. Be helpful to everyone you meet. There are a lot of other ways to reduce anxiety. Be creative and work on those ideas.
Health also contributes to anxiety. Our diet also affects our anxiety levels. Caffeine can increase our anxiety. Beverages such as tea, coffee, and soft drinks contain caffeine.
Alcohol intake and smoking may alleviate anxiety symptoms transiently. Yet the end result of such habits is an increase of anxiety levels as soon as their temporary effect is lost. Regular exercise also reduces anxiety. Be sure to also eat balanced meals, and you are set for a major reduction on anxiety levels.

Panic attacks.
Panic Attacks are sudden periods of extreme nervousness that are associated with a number of symptoms. Their onset is mostly very abrupt and there are no certain obvious triggers that are associated with them. Panic attacks are extremely disturbing to the person who suffers them but there is no physical harm associated with these episodes.
They can occur at random or after a person is exposed to various events that may serve as triggers. People usually feel like they may be dying, suffocating or having a heart attack. They begin breathing very rapidly, and after a short time, the symptoms go away returning them to their normal state.
What people are susceptible to have panic attacks? A small fraction of all people are affected at one time or another, and of those who do, an even smaller number get them quite often. People who have them repeatedly need treatment from a medical health professional because in some cases they are the cumulative effect of the onset of depression.
They can have a variety of causes. A single all prevailing cause can not be identified. It is also known that perfectly healthy people all of a sudden have had panic episodes when they are exposed to anxiety which their mind and body cannot deal with.
In some cases heredity also plays an important role in determining whether a person would be susceptible to panic attacks. There are many people with no family history of anxiety that have also been hit by them. Living in constant fear of the next episode is often the precursor that causes the next attack.
People who suffer from panic attacks are in fear of when the next one will strike. This fear leads to anxiety and triggers more attacks. Therefore the first step to help overcome them is to deal with the fear that we have within. We need to identify what we are scared of, because these episodes are all about fear.
There are a certain triggers and thoughts which cause the body to go into panic mode. An important component of getting better is monitoring our thoughts during panic episodes. This is easier said than done because once there is trigger and our body' reacts, the reaction may be in the form of Rapid Heartbeat, feeling light-headed, changes in vision, etc. These are all perfectly normal, and they have no harmful effects on your health.
Pay attention to the thought process. Most of your thoughts will consist of fear, which further triggers a sensation in the body which leads more fearful thoughts, thus all resulting in a big chain. It is essential therefore, to control our thought process during a panic attack to help.
One of the major factors which contribute to panic attacks is imagining things and then blowing them out of proportion. Therefore, once the thought process has been identified, to start improving, one should implement in cognitive feedback, where in you have to face your fears, and replace the negative thoughts with the positive thoughts.
Stop the fearful thoughts and this way you can prevent further episodes of anxiety. Overcoming your fear and not suppressing is another key to freedom. Once you effectively practiced what has been discussed above, you should altogether stop fearing the attacks themselves because this is associated with extreme anxiety. Be in control, and with practice you can and will overcome them attacks.

Anxiety is a reflection of our body's and mind's reactions ....
....to threats and uncertainties. It does not mean that having anxiety is wrong. In fact, channeling anxiety can be used creatively if only we can understand how it works.
We all know that anxiety can be a problem. We have different habits in order to break off from an anxiety spell. Yet we often fail from achieving it. For example, we may try to relax but this sounds impossible. It just leads to greater tension. Furthermore, if we try to repress anxiety, this just leads to more panic attacks. Then it all turns out into a vicious cycle. Fear and worry causes anxiety. Anxiety in turn causes more fear and worry. Anxiety may be a normal response to a perceived threat, but sometimes it becomes the threat itself, which is just not good for the body.
Our body's physiology affects the formation of our habits. Because we are a synthesis of our body and our mind, what happens to our body affects our mind and conversely what happens to our mind affects our body. Bodily habits can also affect both our body and our mind. Breathing patterns, being physiological process and also habits, can be changed with a consequent change in anxiety levels.
Our breathing patterns change when we become angry. They also change when we are sexually aroused. In a similar case, our breath patterns also change when we experience anxiety. When we are anxious, our breaths become very shallow. Consequently, changing the way we breathe during an anxiety attack can also change the conditions in our body, which lead to our anxiety.
We notice that young children seem to be so peaceful, without a care, without fear or anxiety. They looks so different from what they would eventually become, us. This reflects the patterns of social conditioning and factors of rearing in our society. We have formed habits, and these habits have contributed to our anxiety. Fortunately, breaking these habits is easy. We only have to change the way we breathe.

Anxiety panic disorder.
If you need panic attack help then you are probably familiar with situations that cause you dizziness, blurred vision, tingling all over your body or feelings of breathlessness. These situations can cause you to think you've contracted some kind serious mental condition or illness. Although after the fact it will seem very irrational to feel this way, in the heat of the moment it is a very real and terrifying set of sensations. Fortunately, panic attacks are treatable and, often times, without the use of man made drugs and chemicals.
Disclaimer
Panic attack help is possible using this technique but make sure you have consulted a medical professional first. Although these types of symptoms can be attributed to anxiety, they can also be caused by a more serious medical condition. However, if your doctor can't find anything physically wrong with you, it may be time to try this natural remedy.
Understanding Anxiety
Before you can find panic attack help you have to understand what causes anxiety. Anxiety is caused by apprehension or fear from the anticipation of a real or imagined threat or situation. When you are afraid of a particular situation, it causes chemicals to be released into your body that cause physiological changes like the ones outlined above. Once you realize this, you can manage your responses to anxiety and panic attacks by managing how you respond to the chemical reactions going on in your body.
What do I do?
In its simplest form, panic attack help can be found by simply forcing yourself into the situation you are afraid of. Now this needs to be tempered with some common sense. If you are afraid of falling off the top of a tall building, don't climb one and fall off. However, you could climb a ladder or something tall and safe to allow yourself to experience the sensation of height. This should trigger the chemical response in your body. Allow yourself to feel the effects of this process. Close your eyes and feel the effect on your heart beat. Notice how your skin tingles and really try to embrace and explore all these physiological changes to your body. You will find that after a while, this is no longer a terrifying situation and your anxiety will be on its way out the door.

Overcoming Panic Attacks Easy With These 3 Simple Steps to Success.
An equally useful approach to overcoming anxiety attacks is making necessary changes in diet. Cut out sugar and caffeine. Sugar helps the brain make the mood chemical serotonin. Ordinarily, serotonin is associated with a happy mood, but in people who suffer these attacks, it keeps the parts of the brain involved in startle reflexes in a perpetually activated stated.
Caffeine has a similar effect. Almost anyone becomes vulnerable to attacks after consuming 800 mg (five cups of coffee, or two large soft drinks, or eight cups of tea, or 3 large glasses of iced tea) in one day. People who have generalized anxiety disorder may feel worse after drinking just one cup of regular coffee a day. Choose decaf, and panic attacks will be less frequent.
Finally, learn three simple rescues for panic attacks. Stopping a panic attack can be as simple as standing up or even sitting up straight.
When your torso is slouched over in a protective stance, your lungs do not fill with air. Less oxygen reaches the brain. If you sit up straight or stand up straight, your lungs absorb more oxygen and you have greater ability to think your way clear to dealing with the situation that triggered your attack.
It also helps to take deep breaths in and long breaths out. If push all the air you can out of your lungs with a long exhalation, fresh, oxygenated air will effortlessly flow back in. This slows your heartbeat, and helps you focus.
Finally, a splash of cold water to your face is especially helpful if you suffer both panic attacks and depression or if you are dealing with a situation involving hostility. The splashing of cold water in your face triggers a dive reflex that also slows the pulse and sends oxygen to the brain, helping you take control over your emotions.
Caffeine has a similar effect. Almost anyone becomes vulnerable to attacks after consuming 800 mg (five cups of coffee, or two large soft drinks, or eight cups of tea, or 3 large glasses of iced tea) in one day. People who have generalized anxiety disorder may feel worse after drinking just one cup of regular coffee a day. Choose decaf, and panic attacks will be less frequent.
Finally, learn three simple rescues for panic attacks. Stopping a panic attack can be as simple as standing up or even sitting up straight.

Social anxiety treatment.
Panic attacks can deprive a person of his freedom and make him virtually a prisoner of his fears. It is one of the most striking examples of how much power the brain holds over the rest of the body as manifested in every part of the body, from the heart to the stomach and limbs. The symptoms include: rapid heartbeat, sweating, feeling of suffocation, numbness, trembling, nausea, chest pain, dizziness or fainting, fear of going crazy and fear of death. The symptoms of the attacks often mimic other serious life threatening diseases.
It's very important to differentiate panic attacks from other diseases such as cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, epilepsy, stroke, and hyperthyroidism. A clinical examination will allow the correct diagnosis.
According to the statistics about 2% of adults suffer from this condition and women are twice as likely to have this disorder compared to men.
The problem typically starts in adolescence. More than 50% of patients had their first anxiety attack before the age of 24. Sometimes the attacks appear suddenly without any apparent cause and sometimes they are triggered under specific conditions (when a person visit a certain place).
Studies suggest that this disorder often coexists with other disorders, especially depression and substance abuse. About 30% of people who suffer from panic attacks drink too much alcohol and 17% take drugs, like cocaine and marijuana. The use of these substances seems to be an attempt to reduce the discomfort caused by this disorder.
Although the exact causes of the condition remain largely unknown, heredity and stressful life events may play an important role. When a person is experiencing acute stress or worry about a change in his life (like a divorce or the death of a loved one), an anxiety attack could be triggered. Sometimes the family environment is to blame.
A person that was raised into an overly protective family will find it difficult to survive outside the environment they are familiar with.

How to stop an anxiety attack:
Rate your fear on a scale of zero to ten and watch it go up and down. Don't identify with the feeling of fear.
Notice that when you stop adding your thoughts to the panic attack, it begins to fade.
Do breathing exercises during the day. They can prevent the excessive hyperventilation or rapid breathing that often accompanies an attack.
Keep a diary of your progress and successes, no matter how small or insignificant they may seem to you. A written record can show proof of your progress. Awareness of what you have achieved will strengthen your self-confidence and create an incentive for you to continue.
Express yourself! Talk to a friend or write your thoughts and feelings. Be careful, however, of who you talk to. It is important that the person will listen, but not judge you. It's a fact that communication reduces stress.
Find ways to have fun! Anxiety absorbs too much energy, making people forget how to have fun.
Find a phrase that will help you relax and repeat it, taking deep breaths.

The panic attacks can occur for many reasons...
They are usually a symptom that occurs after a difficult period of our life. The accumulation of stress and pressure play a role. Often guilt, perfectionism and the need to please others are behind these attacks.
This disorder affects dramatically the functions of the main glands, heart, lungs, stomach, kidneys, bladder, eyes, intestines, pancreas, and large muscle groups. Hormones and other stimulants, such as adrenaline and epinephrine, fill the cells through the blood circulation. The impulse of man is to run, to get out, to escape or hide.
Symptoms of a panic attack may include:
Rapid heartbeat
Shortness of breath, or feeling of suffocation
Almost paralyzing horror
Dizziness, vertigo, or nausea
Severe sweating
Trembling, shaking, seizures
Chest pain
Hot flashes or sudden chills
Numbness or tingling in the body
Fear that the sufferer will "go crazy" or "die"
The characteristics of a panic attack are very specific:
It occurs suddenly without any warning and without any way to end it.
The level of fear is irrelevant or too disproportionate to the objective reality. It is completely independent of any external threat. It can happen even during sleep.
It disappears within a few minutes by itself.
An anxiety attack is not really life-threatening, but can be terrifying. The panic disorder often leads to other complications such as phobias, depression, substance abuse, even suicide.

Agoraphobia.
A Panic attack is the sudden appearance of an episode of intense fear or anxiety, which includes four or more symptoms: rapid heartbeat (pounding heart), trembling, sweating, a feeling of suffocation, chest pain, dizziness and nausea.
It is estimated that up to 4% of the population suffers from severe and frequent panic attacks. In women the disease is 2 to 3 times more frequent than in men.
The panic disorder is a condition in which the recurrent anxiety attacks are followed by the widespread concern that there will be another crisis, so the person leaves in constant fear. Not all patients who experience an anxiety attack will develop a panic disorder. There are many patients who only had one experience of an attack, which was never repeated.
This condition may be accompanied by agoraphobia. Agoraphobia is a condition in which the patient is afraid to go outside the house. The fear comes from thinking that any panic attacks that will occur in such places - away from the safe area of his home-will find them unprepared and helpless. This can lead to many problems. It can lead to losing your job, a complete social exclusion and zero self-esteem and confidence.
Without treatment, the sufferers may still get anxiety attacks for many years. This can seriously affect their relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
Their life becomes more and more difficult. For example, the person may begin to avoid situations that cause him fear. These may be everyday activities like shopping or driving. In extreme cases, people with an untreated panic disorder are too afraid to leave the house.
Many people with this disorder also suffer from severe depression. Often, trying without success to reduce the symptoms with alcohol or other substances only aggravates their symptoms. In severe cases it can even lead to suicide.
Some people may find it hard to be productive at work. The symptoms of this condition can prevent them from going to work or remaining there once they arrive. They may even reject a promotion or an assignment, because they believe that it will make them more vulnerable to attacks. Some people even quit their jobs.
The condition can be fully addressed with the appropriate treatment. This is the good news. The bad news is that most people try to cure it with drugs. Drugs have many side-effects and can lead to addiction. What is more, they only treat the symptoms and not the root cause of this disease.
To treat this condition you need to take control of your mind. Here are a few ways to do that:
Do not try to fight your feelings. The more you are willing to admit and face the problem, the easier it will be to get rid of it.
Stay in the moment. Observe what happens to you and do not allow yourself to become prey to what you think is happening to you. You are not really dying or going crazy. This is only in your

Anxiety symptoms.
There are several methods that people can use to help stop panic attack symptoms. A good understanding of what causes a panic attack is imperative. And even better understanding of your own body and its stress signals can be very helpful. Thorough and honest self analysis is vital so you know your body and mind clearly.
During a panic attack there are very specific symptoms one needs to be aware of. Many people experience intense anxiety and fear of impending doom. Other mental symptoms can be a racing mind, usually with negative thoughts, and illogical conclusions too convoluted thought processes that do not match the current situation. Some common physical symptoms include: a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, nausea, chills, choking, sweating, tingling or numbness in your extremities and sometimes chest pain.

Anxiety attacks causes.
The most common symptoms are a racing heart and short quick breathing. Some experience of shortness of breath, sweaty palms, dizziness or tingling in the hands and feet. These are some of the physical symptoms. There are also some mental conditions to watch for, they include: extreme anxiety; feelings of impending doom; uncontrollable thoughts; imagined negative outcomes.
Those are some of the symptoms you may have to deal with if you're having a panic attack. Now what can you do about it? The first thing I did, and it did help, was to get up, go outside and start walking. Walk slowly and deliberately. I picked a nearby field which was safe and a little bit quieter than walking on a main road. Now as you walk begin to count your breaths. Deliberately slow your breathing. When doing these two simple exercises at the same time and with conscious effort you will find it can help tremendously.
Once you are through a panic attack you will realize that the symptoms leave no lasting physical effect. Your mental condition may be another story. The reason for that is that many people began to fear the possibility of a panic attack. The fear of the attack can cause an attack. If you feel you are getting to this point you may need to look for further help. It is best if you don't let yourself get to this point in the first place.
If you feel you may be getting to that point already, don't worry, there is help. You can find decent help and some very good programs online. When you look at programs that are available online for anxiety and dealing with panic attack symptoms read the pages carefully. I have seen some programs out there that are written solely for the purpose of selling a program. You want a system that was started by someone that has dealt with this and studied it. Some people need a bit more assistance with panic attacks and others want straight answers and no fluff. There are programs for both. You can get past this and you can start today.

Anxiety is a natural reaction caused by premonition.
Simply defined, anxiety is a natural reaction caused by premonition of any kind of hazard or perilous situation. It is a resultant feeling wrought by the man's physical and mental past as well as his interaction with his social settings. Anxiety can surface following an ordeal that a man goes through, resulting in an intricate overt effect on his memory. As a result of man's inherent ability to fantasize and remember things, anxiety is born in him.
Scientifically it has been proven that anxiety is predominant in human beings only and other animals experience a different facet of it - fear. It can be rightly claimed that this feeling of being anxious results from mental strain, certain types of diseases and intake of certain medicines.
At times anxiety can ultimately result in a man becoming rejuvenated by far more positive behavioral changes. Common characteristics of an anxious person are his accelerated attentiveness, pulse and dilated pupils. His breathing is shallow and higher in rate, whereas his digestion becomes weaker, permitting more availability of energy for his muscles. Anxiety is a phenomenon depicting typical reaction to some drugs, hyper functioning of thyroid, endocrine instability or chest pain caused by lack of blood being provided to the heart.
Certain medicines have an adverse effect and can cause anxiety. There have been known instances of ill side effects of contraceptive pills, drugs for asthma or thyroid and use of local anesthesia. Caffeine rich diet and intake of drugs like cocaine or opium are known to increase the susceptibility of man falling prey to anxiety.
A man becoming anxious is a critical retort to his disrupted autonomous nervous system, also called ANS. Appropriate treatment should be given to patients only after ascertaining whether their anxiety stem from ordinary circumstances or psychological turmoil.

Anxiety Attacks Symptoms.
For the victim of an anxiety attack (adult or teenager) the symptoms are truly terrifying. Generally speaking, the symptoms of anxiety (panic) attacks are things like; tightness across chest / throat, nausea, dizziness, trembling / shaking, hyperventilating, shortness of breath, tingling fingers, hot / cold flashes, sweating, palpitations, a feeling of detachment from reality and a sense of some impending doom / a feeling you're going to die, etc.
Note that some of these symptoms could also be signs of other things, so you must always consult your healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. For the purposes of this article, we'll assume that we are dealing with true anxiety attacks.
What Causes Anxiety Attacks in Teenagers?
First, let's consider a person (teenager or adult) with normal levels of everyday stress and anxiety. When such a person is faced with the usual stressful events of modern life they can generally handle them without much problem because the combination of the stressful event on top of their normal everyday stress and anxiety levels doesn't reach critical limits.
However, in the case where someone with already high anxiety levels is faced with similar stressors, these stressful events when added on top can project the overall anxiety levels past this critical level. The type of stressful events, particularly among teenagers, that can do this are things like; studying for exams, going on a date, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, problems at home, problems in school / college, sports competitions, speaking on stage, etc.
When the overall anxiety level spikes above this critical level, the body's unconscious mind wrongly perceives this 'spike' in stress and anxiety to be a sign that the person is in some kind of physical danger. When this happens, the mind and body are switched on to a 'fight or flight' mode. This is a primeval reaction the body uses to protect itself in moments of danger.
But of course there isn't any physical danger, all that's happened is that the unconscious mind has 'read' the anxiety spike as one and acted as it is programmed to do by switching to the fight or flight mode. In this mode certain chemical and physical reactions are triggered to help you either fight your way out of trouble or run to safety.
And since you are unaware of any physical danger (because there isn't any) and start to experience these chemical and physical changes, you experience them as unwelcome and unexpected symptoms as described above, i.e. an anxiety attack.
Anxiety Attacks Treatment Options
First line treatment usually takes the form of drug-based medication such as tranquilizers, antidepressants and / or beta blockers. These are used to control and manage the chemical reactions in the brain in order to relieve the symptoms of anxiety and anxiety attacks. These can work quite well for some people but they do have some horrible side effects ranging from diarrhea to dependency issues. Which is why more and more sufferers are using totally natural treatments.
Sometimes doctors will also recommend non-drug therapies such as psychotherapy, counselling, support groups, and, self-help remedies like meditation, self-hypnosis, yoga, even acupuncture. Other remedies are things like herbal treatments, massage, controlled breathing exercises, good diet, daily exercise, relaxation exercises, aromatherapy, and many more.
These all tend to help you 'cope' with your condition, while the drugs address the symptoms. But they all miss one important thing...
Fear of Anxiety Attacks - Beat This and Beat Anxiety
Teenagers who suffer anxiety attacks -- in fact anyone who suffers them -- have a fear (conscious or unconscious) of having another one. This is natural because the symptoms are so frightening. But this fear builds upon their already heightened anxiety so that the overall anxiety levels are increased even more. And as we've seen above a normal everyday event can easily then project this into a fight or flight response which triggers an anxiety attack.
This is called the Cycle of Anxiety and needs to be broken in order to prevent anxiety attacks and cure the underlying general anxiety.
Note that some of these symptoms could also be signs of other things, so you must always consult your healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis. For the purposes of this article, we'll assume that we are dealing with true anxiety attacks.

And as we've seen above a normal everyday event can easily then project this into a fight or flight response which triggers an anxiety attack.
This is called the Cycle of Anxiety and needs to be broken in order to prevent anxiety attacks and cure the underlying general anxiety.
