anxiety

Abstract

Symptoms related to Panic Attacks may include: • Increased heart rate • Laboured breathing • Tightness in the chest • Feeling dizzy, nauseous or light headed • Shaking, trembling and excessive sweating • Fear that you are going to go crazy or die Some or all of these symptoms may occur suddenly without any warning. A panic attack causes you to feel great anxiety and uncertainty in a situation that normally does not bother you. For example, you may be sitting in your office working on a report and suddenly feel as though your life is in danger. Or similarly, be golfing with co-workers and collapse, feeling as though you are having a heart attack. The feeling usually passes quite quickly, but a ripple effect of similar attacks can occur for several hours.
