Temperature causes panic attacks/anxiety attacks

I feel that when the weather is warmer I tend to have more of them. Or if I seem to get hot in some way. Do you experience this? Tell me. Explain. Thanks.

SOCIAL INTERACTION

I'VE BEEN HAVING PANIC ATTACKS HERE LATELY EVERYTIME WE GO OVER MY IN-LAWS(MOTHER-IN-LAW). SOMETHING WENT ON THAT REALLY BOTHERED ME AND SO A PANIC ATTACK EMERGES USUALLY EVERYTIME I'M AROUND HER.

Low Blod Sugar can cause pain attacks or not eating enough salt

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.................................

As most panic attacks are caused by a dive in blood sugar you should then drink a glass or two of diluted fruit juice (all fruit no sugar) or eat a banana. This will quickly bring your blood sugar back up to normal and you'll feel a lot better. Eat something after the juice or banana that has a combination of protein, fat and complex carbs. This will make sure that your blood sugar will not drop again right away.

Or poor eating habits can vring them on!! Like not eating enough salt!! I thought too much salts was BAD for u??!! Hmmmmmmmmmmm..................... Warning!!: IF U CAN'T EAT MUCH SALT--DO NOT FOLLOW THIS ADVICE!!

C AND D

SOCIAL ANXIETY DISORDER

SOME MAY CALL IT A PHOBIA LIKE SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF PEOPLE, EATING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE. FEAR OF BEING CLOSELY WATCHED AND JUDGED, CRITICIZED BY OTHERS.

a PERSON LIKE THIS IS AFRAID OF DOING ANY TASKS OR ANYTHING FOR FEAR OF ACCIDENTS, EMBARRASSMENTS, OR MISTAKES. THIS CAN BUILD UP TO A PANIC ATTACK! THIS CAN BE MADE MUCH, NUCH WORSE BY LESS SOCIAL ACTIVITY. AVOID STRESS ALTOGETHER!! WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE! THIS CAN COUSE A DISORDER CALLED-ANTICIOATORY ANXIETY. THIS IS THE FEAR OF SOMETHING BEFORE IT HAPPENS. MOST OF THE TIME THEY ARE UNABLE TO RECOVER FORM THIS IF NOT TREATED. PEOPLE WITH THIS HAVE DISTORTED THIKNING, FALSE BELIEFS, AND NEGATIVE OPINIONS ABOUR OTHERS. WITHOUT TREATMENT, IT CAN BE A NEGATIVE COMPONENT IN YOUR DAILY LIFE. PEOPLE LIKE THIS AVOID SPEAKING IN PUBLIC FOR FEAR OF THAT. THEY CAN'T GO TO SCHOOL, WORK, OR HAVE A RELATIONSHIP. THEY CAN'T ENJOY A NORMAL LIFE. THIS CAN BE PAIRED WITH MORE MENTAL ILLNESSES LIKE: PANIC DISORDER, OSESSIVE-COMPULISIVE DISORDER. MOST OF THE TIME THE SUFFERS DO NOT GO TO THE DOCTOR FOR THE SYNPTOMS, BUT OTHER REASONS LIKE: YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS WRONG, MAJOR ANXIETY IN A SOCIAL SITUATION, AVOIDANCE OF THE SITUATION, CONFUSION, POUNDING HEART, SWEATING, SHAKING, BLUSHING, MUSCLE TENSION, UPSET STOMACH, OR DIARRHEA.

CHILDREN WITH THIS MAY CLING TO THEIR PARENT, CRY, OR THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM!

HOW COMON IS IT TODAY?? IT IS THE 3RD MOST COMMON IN THE U.S.A TODAY. THIDS MENTAL DISORDER RANKS AFTER MENTAL DEPRESSION, AND ALCOHOL DEPENDANCY. OBER 19 MIL HAVE IT TODAY. IT CAN START AT ANY TIME. MOSTLY IN THE TEENAGE YEARS. IT CAN START FROM CHILDHOOD. IT IS MORE COMON IS FEMALES RATHER THATN MALES((I BET BC WE HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE MALES CRAP!! haha!!)) Anyways,

It can be caused by: biological-chemical imbalance, psychologically, or environmentally.

HOW IS IT DIAGNOSED?

DOCTOR ASKS QUESTIONS ABOUT MEDICAL HISTORY. PERFORMS A PHYSICAL EXAM. HE/SHE MAY SEND YOU TO A PSYCHAITRIST FOR FURTHER EVALUATION AND HELP. THEY WILL INTERVIEW YOU AND GIVE MORE TESTS. TREAT THE PROBLEM THAT SURFACES WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS THAT IS NEEDED. IT IS TREATED WITH CBT's.(COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY. THIS IS TO GUIDE PEOPLE'S THOUHGTS INTOP NOT THIKING WHAT THEY WERE THINKING BEFORE. BC OF WHAT CAUSED THE ANXIETY. TEACH YOU TO REACT DIFFENTLY TO SITUATIONS. A THERAPSIT MIGHT HELP.

MEDICATION THAT CAN BE USED IS PAXIL(ANTIDEPRESSANT), TRANQUILIZERS LIKE XANAX, VALIUM, AND/OR ATIVAN. BETA BLOCKERS CAN BE USED FOR SHAINESS, AND RAPID HEARTBEATS.

Some of My Answers for a panic attack are...

Besides my husband, other answers can be listening to your favorite music. It soothes the savage beast, you know. Anywho, ibuprofen works for me as well. Sometimes a good talk and getting what panics me off my system works. A good cry works sometimes. Breathing in a paper bag works if I get to hyperventailating!! Try some of these fixes and see if they work for you. You're welcome!! ps: I mean look at these times we are having. Who wouldn't panic!! Good night. C

DON'T MAKE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE PANIC ATTACKS

DON'T YELL AT THEM EVERY SECOND OF THE DAY!! LET KIDS BE KIDS. RELAX, THINK ABOUT WHAT EXAMPLE YOU ARE SETTING FOR THESE FUTURE-LEADERS-OF-OUR-PLANET EARTH!! C

SLEEPING DISORDERS AND PANIC ATTACK ANXIETY ATTACKS

I BELIEVE THAT SLEEPING DIORDERS ARE FACTORS IN PANIC/ANXIETY ATTACKS ALSO. SEE, I'M OT ASLEEP NOW. I'LL PROBABLY HAVE A SEVERE PANIC ATTACK TOMORROW. I BELEIVE THAT SLEEP IS AN ABSOLUTE FACTOR. WE WILL SEE... C

FIBROMYALGIA

PANIC GOES ALONG WITH THIS CONDITION OR DISEASE. I'VE SEEN IT. MOST WOMEN SUFFER FROM THIS DISEASE(I SUPPOSE, YOU CALL IT). SOME MEN ALSO. DON'T LEAVE THEM OUT ALL TOGETHER. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO STOP THIS? I HEAR THERE'S MEDICATIONS, BUT DO THEY REALLY WORK? I HAVEN'T HEARD OF ANY THAT REALLY HAS. MANY CALL THIS CONDITION A MADE-UP DISEASE. I WOULD SAY IT'S A DISEASE BECAUSE OF THE PAIN THAT COMES WITH IT. I BELIEVE THAT IS REAL. NO ONE SHOULD SUFFER FROM THIS. YOU ALSO GET PANICKY WITH IT. DOCTORS SHOULD FIND SOME WAY TO STOP IT! TV COMMERCIALS OFFER SOME HELP SUPPOSEDLY, BUT DOES THAT WORK? LET ME JUST SAY FOR THE FINISH THAT I DO NOT HAVE THIS, BUT KNOW PEOPLE THAT DO. I SEEN THESE PEOPLE HAVE KINDA PANIC ATTACKS. THIS SHOULD END. NO ONE SHOULD HURT LIKE THIS.

PANIC ATTACK ANSWERS PART 1

WE WILL BEGIN WITH MEDICATION AS TREATMENT FOR PANIC ATTACKS. ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD BE THE SECOND CHOICE AFTER PSYCHOTHERAPY, BECAUSE SO MANY PHYSICIANS USE MEDICATION AS THE FIRST CHOICE IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO WHEN YOU TAKE PILLS FOR PANIC. FIRSTLY, THERE ARE THE BENZODIAZEPINES --KLONOPIN, VALIUM, ATIVAN, TRANXENE, AND THE LIKE. THESE ARE ALL ADDICTIVE MEDICATIONS. THESE MEDICINES ARE OFTEN MORE EFFECTIVE INITIALLY BEFORE THE BODY BUILDS UP TOLERANCE AND THE PANIC ATTACK SUFFERER OFTEN ASKS FOR A HIGHER DOSAGE. THESE ARE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DEPRESSANTS, AND ARE QUITE DANGEROUS WHEN TAKEN WITH ANOTHER CNS DEPRESSANT --ALCOHOL. BENZOS WORK FOR SOME PEOPLE, HOWEVER IF ONE MUST GO THE MEDICATION ROUTE THESE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE THE FIRST CHOICE.

A SECOND CLASS OF MEDICATIONS WHICH ONE MIGHT BE PRESCRIBED FOR PANIC ARE ANTIDEPRESSANTS. THERE'S A LONG LIST TO CHOOSE FROM, INCLUDING PROZAC, PAXIL, ZOLOFT, REMERON, CELEXA, SERZONE, WELLBUTRIN, EFFEXOR AND CYMBALTA. (THESE ARE ON AND OFF LABEL USES) THESE HAVE A LOWER SUCCESS RATE FOR TREATING ANXIETY THAN BENZODIAZEPINES BUT ARE SAFER AND MORE TENABLE IN THE LONG RUN.

THERE ARE VARIOUS OTHER MEDICATIONS HELPFUL FOR PANIC ATTACKS SUCH AS PROPANOLOL AND LIBRIUM. ANOTHER INTERESTING CLASS OF MEDICATIONS WHICH MAY BE HELPFUL WITH PANIC SYMPTOMS, ALTHOUGH THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS OFFICIALLY APPROVED FOR SUCH, ARE THE SECOND GENERATION ANTI-PSYCHOTICS, INCLUDING ZYPREXA, RISPERDAL, GEODON, AND SEROQUEL. ALTHOUGH THE THOUGHT OF TAKING MEDICATIONS ORIGINALLY DEVELOPED FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA FOR PANIC ATTACKS MAY SEEM STRANGE, IF PSYCHOTHERAPY ISN'T WORKING AND YOU HAVE EXTREMELY SEVERE PANIC ATTACKS, AND THE ADDICTIVE BENZODIAZEPINES AREN'T SOMETHING YOU WANT TO GET INTO, AND THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS AREN'T EFFECTIVE, AT LOW DOSAGES THE ANTIPSYCHOTICS ARE A CREATIVE AND OFTEN VERY HELPFUL TREATMENT FOR PANIC ATTACKS, IF YOU CAN TALK YOUR PHYSICIAN INTO PRESCRIBING THEM.

WHAT IS A PANIC ATTACK

TYPICAL SYMPTOMS OF A PANIC ATTACK ARE SHORTNESS OF BREATH, ACCELERATED HEART RATE, THE PERCEPTION OF ONE'S PERSONAL SPACE CLOSING IN, THE FEELING ONE IS DYING, SWEATING, NUMBNESS AND TINGLING IN THE BODY'S EXTREMITIES, DIZZINESS AND NAUSEA, HEADACHE, BLURRED VISION, SYNCOPE (PASSING OUT). A FULL BLOWN PANIC ATTACK MAY BE LIKENED TO THE TRAUMA SOMEONE EXPERIENCES IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. PANIC DISORDER OFTEN RUNS IN FAMILIES, BUT ALSO HAS A DEFINITE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENT. PEOPLE EXPERIENCING PANIC ATTACKS FOR THE FIRST TIME QUITE OFTEN ARE SEEN IN EMERGENCY ROOMS AS THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON AND BELIEVE THEY ARE HAVING A HEART ATTACK. A PERSON WHO HAS PANIC ATTACKS IS DIAGNOSED WITH AN ACTUAL DISORDER IF THE EPISODES ARE SEVERE ENOUGH TO CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT DISRUPTION IN THE EFFECTED PERSON'S LIFE. PANIC DISORDER VARIES IN SEVERITY. SOME PEOPLE WITH PANIC ATTACKS EXPERIENCE THEM AS LITTLE MORE THAN MINOR ANNOYANCES, WHILE OTHERS HAVE GREAT DIFFICULTY FUNCTIONING AT ALL ON A DAILY BASIS. THE MOST COMMON TRIGGERS FOR PANIC ATTACKS ARE BEING IN CROWDS, BEING OVERWHELMED BY STRESSORS , AND DRIVING. HOWEVER, SOME PEOPLE HAVE PANIC ATTACKS WHICH OCCUR "OUT OF THE BLUE" EVEN WHEN THINGS IN THEIR LIFE ARE GOING WELL AND THEY ARE IN FAMILIAR, PEACEFUL SURROUNDINGS. WHILE THERE ARE COMMON SYMPTOMS OF PANIC ATTACKS, THEY ARE ALWAYS EXPERIENCED SOMEWHAT UNIQUELY BY INDIVIDUALS.
