If You Had A Panic or Anxiety Attack, Would You Realize?

September 29th, 2009 by admin

Panic Attacks and anxiety attacks are on the increase. Who knows whether it’s our modern more stressful way of life or not. Still, they are increasing and causing more and more people some serious grief.

Could you spot if you were having a panic or anxiety attack? That’s a hard one as the symptoms are wide ranging and can be quite mild, although they can also be terrifying. You may just feel a bit of a hot sweat. But you may also feel like your heart is bursting out of your chest.

I guess if you were having the second type of symptom you’d be very aware you need help to put this right. If your symptoms are mild though, you may not even realize it’s a panic or anxiety attack. This could be a warning sign that things are about to get worse, much worse.

The first (bad) panic attack my wife suffered was actually while she was driving. It wasn’t the fact she had suffered an attack that hit her worst, but the fact she could easily have hit and killed someone or maybe even herself. It won’t do anyone any good to dwell on this type of scenario.

If you have been feeling a little off lately, maybe suffering any of these symptoms…. Fidgeting, feeling irritated, hard to sleep, on edge or anxious or lack of concentration. Any of these small signs could be a forewarning that something else is about to hit you.

Let me put you at ease a little before you actually break out and have an attack. Many things can cause symptoms like the above symptoms. And you shouldn’t worry about them. Lack of sleep may just be too much caffeine. Fidgeting may be uncomfortable clothing.

But before we dismiss everything it’s still safer to be sure you aren’t a panic attack victim. A panic (anxiety) symptoms test will give you a better idea of whether you are at risk. You simply tick a few yes or no boxes and total your score at the end.

Then you can decide if you need to take further action. You can find a panic attack symptoms test here.
