BUST THAT MYTH about panic attacks

Myth 1: People having a panic attack lose total control During a panic attack, it can feel as if you’re going crazy or going to lose it. However, people experiencing panic attacks don’t lose control of either their emotions or physical abilities. Anxiety attacks, although uncomfortable, embarrassing and sometimes debilitating aren’t dangerous. In many cases, people around the person having a panic attack never even realise what’s going on. Myth 2: Severe panic attacks cause heart attacks

Some people experience chest pain, heart palpitations, dizziness or trouble breathing when having a panic attack. These symptoms are similar to those of a heart attack. Panic attacks don’t cause damage to your heart. Myth 3: There’s no treatment for panic attacks Cognitive behavioural therapy has been found to be an effective treatment for panic attacks. In addition, there are several medications that can help to relieve anxiety symptoms in the short-term. If you, or someone you know, have panic attacks, it is important to talk with a medical professional to determine which type of treatment would be best. SORRY BUT I CAN’T ANSWER LETTERS PERSONALLY
