5 Reasons For Panic Attacks

John Salter
Here you'll discover 5 reasons for panic attacks. Although there is no hard evidence to support them, there is a body of opinion that these are indeed possible reasons for these types of attacks. The key is that, whatever the real reason, you can cure panic attacks naturally without expensive drugs with their side effects.

Here are 5 widely held reasons for panic attacks (anxiety attacks)...

GENETICS

There is a belief that if someone in your family has had anxiety and anxiety attacks, you are more liable to suffer them than a person with no such family history. Now this isn't written in stone, i.e. just because a family member had these attacks that you will too. All they are saying is that you may have a higher chance of suffering the same.

CHILDHOOD

It is possible that if a child suffers some serious trauma such as parental death, abandonment, neglect, school bullying, etc., then that child could have a higher probability of having general anxiety with panic attacks, either then or in later life.

CHARACTER TRAITS

Certain 'types' of people can have a higher risk of having anxiety and panic attacks; for example, worriers (how they look, what people think of them, job, finance, etc.), perfectionists (not satisfied unless perfect, the best), introverts (poor social skills, lack confidence), etc.

DEPENDENCY

Things like taking illegal drugs and alcoholism. These seriously affect the way you behave, think about things, and, your ability to make good decisions. Because of this, anyone falling into this category, is at a higher risk of suffering from general anxiety and anxiety attacks.

MEDICINES

Some medications like methylphenidate and antibiotics like fluoro-quinolone can cause the symptoms of anxiety and anxiety attacks.


These are just 5 reasons for panic attacks. But, as was said previously, just because you fall into one of these categories doesn't mean that you will definitely suffer anxiety and panic attacks. It just seems to be that you may be at a higher risk than others.

But if you are a sufferer then, irrespective of the reason, you need to prevent your attacks happening again...

And the key to this is your very 'fear' of having another attack. This fear builds-upon your already elevated anxiety levels, effectively increasing your general anxiety. The result is that an everyday stressful situation, that you would have otherwise coped with, becomes so severe to you that it spills over into another panic attack. Which raises your 'fear' again, which heightens you anxiety again, and so on. This is you 'vicious cycle of anxiety'.

Mainstream drug-based treatment which tries to manage and control your 'mood' and helps to 'calm' you down, can't help you get rid of that fear. Only you can do that. But once you've eliminated that fear, you break that vicious cycle, prevent further panic attacks and get on with curing your general anxiety.
