Panic<\/strong> is a sudden sensation of fear, which is so strong as to dominate or prevent reasons and logical thinking, replacing it with overwhelming feelings of anxiety<\/a> and frantic agitation consistent with an animalistic fight-or-flight reaction. Panic may occur singularly in individuals or manifest suddenly in large groups as mass panic (closely related to herd behavior). So this intense wave of fear characterized by its unexpectedness and debilitating, immobilizing intensity makes your heart pound, you can\u2019t breathe, and you may feel like you\u2019re dying or going crazy. Panic attacks often strike out of the blue, without any warning, and sometimes with no clear trigger. They may even occur when you\u2019re relaxed or asleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now if you ever\nfeel this way don\u2019t be scared of people laughing at you or not understanding.\nDon\u2019t worry about you being crazy, it is a disorder which could have happened\nfor many reasons and it can be cured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to recognize\nthe symptoms of panic attack and also try to arrest it as early as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Look\nout for symptoms which include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\nis important to note that panic attacks may happen once or can be recurrent.

This anxiety stems\nfrom a fear of having future panic attacks. This \u201cfear of fear\u201d is present most\nof the time, and can be extremely disabling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phobic avoidance<\/strong> \u2013 You begin to avoid certain situations or\nenvironments. This avoidance may be based on the belief that the situation you\u2019re\navoiding caused a previous panic attack. Or you may avoid places where escape\nwould be difficult or help would be unavailable if you had a panic attack.\nTaken to its extreme, phobic avoidance becomes agoraphobia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point you must be\nwondering why do we get panic attacks and what is the basic cause of it. Before\ngetting into the depth of the causes I would like to tell you that every\nindividual is different. And so are their causes. It is rare to find two\nindividuals to get a disorder (mostly psychological) for the exact same cause. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moreover\nthe exact causes of panic attacks and panic disorder are unclear, the tendency\nto have panic attacks runs in families. There also appears to be a connection\nwith major life transitions such as graduating from college and entering the\nworkplace, getting married, or having a baby. Severe stress<\/a>, such as the death of a\nloved one, divorce, or job loss can also trigger panic attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Panic attacks can also be caused by medical conditions and other physical causes.
