Any of the previous causes of panic attacks mentioned can lead to an unpleasant experience, a panic attack, which can feel like your body is breaking down from you. Know that it is actually protecting itself from what it perceives is harm. Just knowing this can help you tremendously as you weather the storm while a panic attack is occurring.

I'll break down what happens during a panic attack as Ifeel that having an understanding of how they work wil reduce the pain and confusion they can cause.The first thing that happens is one of the various causes of panic attacks trigger some type of fear in you. This causes the body to release adrenaline which cause you to experience what is called the flight or fight response,where your body feels like it is in danger and only has those two options as it prepares for a strenuous event. Either fighting or running away from what is causing the fear.

 
This than manifest itself physically by increasing the heart rate and breathing (which is why you would feel the shortness of breath) and excessive sweating.

Most likely during a panic attack you will not actually have to do any strenuous activity, so hyperventilation (otherwise known as rapid breathing) causes a drop in carbon dioxide in the blood and also the lungs.

This is what causes other physical symptoms such as the feeling of numbness, dizziness, and brain fog. Causes of panic attacks trigger all this and can also cause the blood sugar to move away from the brain and instead move towards major muscles.

Knowing the causes of panic attacks will help you if you are a panic attack sufferer; because you can plan your daily activates to avoid situations that can potentially trigger a panic attack.

You can also surround yourself with people who can supportyou emotionally. As a former anxiety attack sufferer myself, I found it therapeutic to be able to talk tosomeone about what I was going through. Do not hesitate to reach out and ask for help, because interacting with other people who understand you can really help you cope with panic disorder. Even better is if you can find a local support group of people with panic disorders, because interacting with those who can relate to your experiences can be be a big help.

Another great place to find support is internet message board forums that have other people who also have troubles with panic attacks. They have a lot of tips and information available in these forums.

I hope that I have been able to educate you on the causes of panic attacks and that with this knowledge you will be better prepared to handle panic attacks when they occur.
