Panic attacks are characterised by repeated, unexpected bouts of severe anxiety, which is often accompanied by physical symptoms. With time, panic attacks become more continuous, and the fear of having a panic attack becomes embedded, resulting in what can feel like a ‘vicious circle’.
The team at Aspris can recognise triggers associated with panic attacks and will ensure that you feel understood and comfortable if you seek panic attack help from us. We understand that a panic attack can affect people differently. First-time sufferers or those who suffer from panic attacks sometimes believe they are experiencing a heart attack or a nervous breakdown but gaining help from Aspris means that the severity of your feelings can be reduced with effective panic attack treatment.
What are the symptoms of panic attacks?
If you think that you are suffering from panic attacks, you may have experienced one or more of the following emotional or physical symptoms of panic attacks:
- Muscle spasms, tremors and palpitations
- Nausea and dizzy spells
- Sweating and shortness of breath
- Lack of control and intense worry
- Withdrawal from social situations
- Anxiety, depression, confusion
- Abdominal discomfort and chest pains
Treatment for panic attacks
The risk of panic attacks can be reduced or even prevented by using techniques that Aspris professionals can teach, such as muscle relaxation exercises, coping mechanism strategies, and attending cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) sessions. CBT for panic disorders like these allows you to become more aware and better understand dysfunctional thought patterns, which can lead to negative emotions.
