You’re Suffering A Panic Disorder - How Do You Know?
Anxiety attacks, or panic attacks as they are more or less the same thing, are on the increase. Nobody knows why there are on the increase but our current stressful lives seem to be a big factor. No matter the cause, they are increasing and causing more people more problems than ever.
Could you spot if you were having a panic or anxiety attack? That’s a hard one as the symptoms are wide ranging and can be quite mild, although they can also be terrifying. You may just feel a bit of a hot sweat. But you may also feel like your heart is bursting out of your chest.
I think if you were having the more serious symptoms you would know you needed some type of help. But you may be suffering one of the many lesser symptoms and not really realising that you are having some form of anxiety attack. Mild symptoms could be a sign that you are heading for something much worse sooner rather than later.
My wife suffered a bad panic attack while she was out driving our car. It wasn’t the fact she had suffered an attack that hit her worst, but the fact she could easily have hit and killed someone or maybe even herself. This type of situation just doesn’t warrant thinking about.
If you’ve been having a few strange moments lately, maybe even experiencing one or more of the following… Fidgeting, feeling irritated, hard to sleep, on edge or anxious or lack of concentration. Any of these small signs could be a forewarning that something else is about to hit you.
But before you actually have a panic attack thinking about those symptoms let me put your mind at ease. There are many normal things that can cause symptoms like those. And none of them are anything to worry about. Too much caffeine can stop you sleeping. Uncomfortable clothing can cause you to fidget.
If you would rather be safe than sorry you can find out if you are heading for anxiety attacks. Taking an anxiety symptoms test can give you a much clearer idea of your risk. All you do is tick a few boxes with either yes or no and total your score at the end.
Then you can decide if you need to take further action. There’s an anxiety (panic) symptoms test here.
