The Science Behind the Causes of Panic Attacks
Panic attacks have been studied over and over again by research scientists. After all this is huge business for doctors. But the number one reason why panic attacks and anxiety are ruining your life is… STRESS!
There are other causes of panic attacks like genetics and chemical imbalances in the brain, but most of those are caused by unhealthy stress too. Don’t let that scare you though because panic and anxiety are things you can 100% control.
Anxiety attacks usually begin in the brain and cause all the affects from there…
Let’s take a little deeper look at why things get out of hand. Oxygen is really important to you as you know… but oxygen in the brain is very important. It helps to regulate those chemical levels and keep them in balance. That’s why you will always here exercise being prescribed… it delivers more oxygen to the brain.
It’s all really an unfair circle of bad events. Bad stress is tossed on your from all directions during your day and that can lead to a big build up. Once that happens it will cause some anxiety to build and that will cause panic to build and then things just get worse.
That’s why medication is not a proper way to go about fighting anxiety… once you stop taking it you will continue to suffer.
There are two ways that I think are best… self help or hire a doctor for some therapy. Personally I think the self help way is better because you can be more honest… not to mention there are great tools out there to help.
Hiring a doctor can be tough because they are on their schedule and being on their schedule may not work for you. Not just in the way of fitting a visit into your day… but if youre not progressing the way you want… there isnt much you can do.
Using different tools makes going the self help direction much more beneficial. You will also learn a lot about yourself doing this and probably come out on top way more confident and with a tight control on those feelings that create anxiety.
