Panic Attack Symptom

Mary was sure she was having a heart attack. She woke up shaking and trembling with a pain in her chest. Her heart seemed as though it would leap right out of her chest, it was beating so fast. She had no idea what was happening to her so she went to the ER. At the ER, the doctor did an EKG and took some blood work and soon concluded that she was suffering from a panic attack.

If you often feel anxious and suffer from panic attacks, you are not alone. Figures from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) show that about 18% of the population, or close to one in every five adults, has a form of anxiety disorder.

Physical symptoms of panic attacks-

Many people experience a slight case of "butterflies in the stomach" when facing a tense situation, but full-blown anxiety attack symptoms can mean severe nausea or stomach cramps, along with muscles so tense they hurt to move, tingling or numbness in the fingers, toes, and on the face, bouts of sweating, and a pounding heartbeat.
In addition to the physical symptoms, other unpleasant effects might be a feeling of disorientation, and the very real fear that you are going crazy or losing your mind.

Doctors and researchers are constantly looking for new treatments every day simply because such a large percentage of the population suffers from panic attacks and anxiety.
The current treatments that are available for panic attacks and anxiety disorders range from anti-depressants, to cognitive behavior therapy, herbal remedies and alternative treatments such as hypnosis.


Unfortunately some methods for treating panic attacks and anxiety are outdated, such as 'deep breathing', positive affirmations, or using distraction to take your mind off the fear of an attack. You may be prescribed medications that have unpleasant side effects, and if you stop taking the drugs, the panic attacks start again.

Fortunately, if you are interested in how to stop a panic attack there is a radical new treatment I discovered that is unlike anything that is available today. It involves no medication, no herbs, no therapy, no riding out the fear or hypnosis.
