When you worry, you can have an anxiety attack. These attacks can come from many areas such as flying, your job, public speaking or arguing with your spouse. As you are having an anxiety attack nothing you do gets rid of the worry and your anxiety builds until it is intolerable.

The identifiable cause to an anxiety attack is hard to discover. It is shocking how these anxiety attacks just pop up out of the blue. A person who has had anxiety attacks find it unbearable to think of having another one. Fear becomes intense and your natural “fight to flight” responses kick in and then the anxiety is intensified.

At the onset of an anxiety attack the person may experience a rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, chills hot flashes, nausea or dizziness. Once these symptoms surface the person realizes they are having an anxiety attack. At this point, their symptoms increase and may lead to more serious symptoms.

An anxiety attack can occur within minutes, and it will cease once the person who is having the anxiety attack has found a safe place or some other way to calm down.

People with deep seated issues that are having anxiety attacks will need medical treatment. Traumatic stress syndrome, social phobia and anxiety disorders will need psychiatric therapy.

You can prevent having anxiety attacks by doing the following: * take a deep breath * stop worrying about little things * take it easy * before you worry about something decide if it is worth the time * talk to people * do not drink alcohol * get plenty of sleep * be happy

Your body responds as if your life was in danger. Your breathing quickens, your heart rate speeds up, and digestion slows down. When an anxiety attack is over you feel physically and mentally exhausted.
