One way to cope is to plan strategies to prevent or avoid those things that have caused stress in the past. Avoiding stress may include having the ability to say "no" to personal and professional added responsibilities over an above what is normally expected of us, and by avoiding those individuals who tend to stress us out and by taking control of the environment in which we live, work and if applicable go to school. We can avoid reading the newspapers or turn off the news on the TV if hearing about terrible news stresses u. In relationships we can avoid those topics that usually start arguments. We can also rearrange daily tasks or delegate responsibilities so that our “to-do list” doesn’t stress us out.

Incorporate fun and relaxation into your daily routine, practice saying “no” so that you don’t over-commit yourself of your time or abilities, of the tasks that you do accept make sure that you prioritize the tasks that you do accept, when possible break down these tasks into smaller projects and then reward yourself for completing each smaller segment and lastly, learn how to delegate responsibility and supervise so that you are not stressing over whether or not it was done right.

You can also learn how to accept things that you cannot change by trying not to control those things that are not in your control. You can find the positive in all things if you look for it. Share your feelings with others. Practice the art of forgiveness. Anger and resentment will only harden you and create negative energy that binds you to stress.

Taking a proactive stance combined with self reliance can help handle and overcome anxiety panic attacks

Anxiety panic attacks occur generally as a response to various undesirable and discomforting situations. Sudden occurrences of rapid heart rate, sweating and shortness of breath are typical in anxiety panic attacks and it can strike almost any person. Other symptoms such as trembling, chills, rapid heart rate, dizziness and faintness occur as a response to stress situations such as attending an interview or making public appearances/speeches. These attacks may also catch you unaware while driving, while in a mall or even when sleeping.

Going crazy or about to die?

Dangerous symptoms of anxiety panic attacks are heart pain and in some cases a sense of impending death. Anxiety panic attacks may push you to the point that you think you are going crazy or even about to die. These are characteristic symptoms of anxiety panic attacks. Intense anxiety panic attacks often lead to fear of an impending attack. This fear of fear leads further to panic attacks and a vicious cycle of fear ensues.

You are not alone in your quest

The symptoms of anxiety panic attacks are physical and anxiety sufferers often mistake their condition for a medical illness. A patient suffering from a panic attack therefore will not go crazy or die regardless of the symptoms. An unbelievably large percentage(about three fourths) of people have had at least one incidence of an anxiety panic attack

Fear of fear

When the anxiety panic attack is severe, it is an extremely distressing experience and greatly traumatizes the sufferer. All kinds of irrational fears and phobias arise and the fear of an attack in future looms large. Fear of an attack can hamper normal activity and is often as damaging as an attack itself. This fear born out of an earlier attack can by itself lead to a new attack.

Anxiety over dose

Anxiety is embedded in the human system as a normal reaction to stress. It helps one deal and cope with tense situations. But when anxiety becomes excessive and results in irrational fear of daily routines it becomes a disabling disorder. As a result of fear of a future attack or fear of a particular condition a person may find it difficult to pursue normal life. This leads to withdrawal syndrome which in turn may lead to another attack.

Types of anxiety disorders

Several types of anxiety attack disorders are present in everyday life. These are generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, phobia, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder. All of these can be overcome with medications, psychotherapy, counseling and other therapies.

Seeking effective solutions

Fear of an impending attack is the main dampener in the process of cure of panic attacks. It is extremely important to overcome this fear and confront anxiety panic attacks with a preplanned course of action rather than running away from it. This will effectively lead to cure. Proactive people are less prone to anxiety panic attacks. Seeking effective long term solutions rather than medications or other forms of treatment will truly help combat and overcome anxiety panic attacks and the related fears.
