Anxiety Symptoms & Panic Attack Remedies

Throughout the ages, people will be different when it comes to anxiety attack symptoms and panic attack remedies. An anxiety attack might mean a rise in temperature to one person, or maybe feel frozen, feel sick and dizzy.  Sometimes it feels as though your heart is racing, your breath is shallower.

The real issue is that most people would not know the difference in the symptoms between an anxiety attack and a heart attack.  A panic attack can feel just like a heart attack. Even doctors are sometimes unable to tell until extensive tests are run.

The following list identifies the most common panic attack symptoms. Experiencing four or less of these anxiety attack symptoms identifies what is called a limited symptom attack.  The common symptoms of panic attacks:

• Rapid heart beat, pounding heart or palpitations
• Sweating
• Shaking visibly or inside
• Choking sensations or lump in throat (Globus Hystericus </articles/globus-hystericus/>)
• Smothering or shortness of breath sensations
• Chest pain or discomfort </articles/chest-pain/>
• Nausea, bloating, indigestion or abdominal discomfort
• Dizziness or unsteadiness
• Feeling light-headed
• Derealization (feeling unreal or dreamy)
• Depersonalization (feeling outside yourself or like you don’t exist)
• Fear of losing control or going crazy

• Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) in face, extremities or body
• Chills or hot flushes
• Skin losing color
• Blushing or skin blotches
• Urgently needing to urinate or defecate

However, don’t despair as there are many panic attack remedies available to you.  Here are some of the very popular remedies that can help cure the anxiety attack:

• Take long, deep breaths. It slows the heart beat.  You might feel a warmth throughout your whole body, which is normal.
• Drink Orange Blossom (very hot) or Valeriane herbal tea. It helps to relax you before you go to bed.
• Take a hot bath. It might knock you right out.
• Get into meditation and yoga classes. You will learn A LOT of relaxation techniques. Or you can get a book on it. 

• Self-help classes would also help. Panic attacks are the result of repressed emotions and I am pretty sure if you dig inside yourself you will find stuff that will amaze you.
• As weird as it sounds, stay away from refined sugar and coffee.
• Stay away from negative people.

• Do physical exercise. It stimulates the endorphins in your brain, endorphins are the pleasure hormones that are released when you exercise, and listen to music, or do pleasant activities.
• Find your passion. It will keep you busy enough to stop worrying. Life is much better when you are working towards a goal and that you have at heart. 

Lastly, if all that fails, then for your panic attack remedies you may consider seeing a doctor for a full exmination.  For instance, your hormones may need some help to be balanced. Even if they put you on prescription medication, tell yourself that this is only temporary, and that you will not need it for long.  It may very well turn out that all you really needed was to change your diet.
