Signs of a panic attack. Those who have experienced it understand that one of the main symptoms is fear.
Fear of death, fear of going crazy. And a large number of the most different symptoms are pain.
Heartache, headache, stomach discomfort, numbness and tingling in the fingertips.
All this accompanies a panic attack.
The main cause of a panic attack is anxiety.
Or generalized anxiety disorder.
Experts talk about emotionally affective disorders with an anxiety component.
Yes, anxiety disorders are the basis of the development of panic attacks.
We are talking about a panic disorder when there are many of them.
And they often bother a person throughout life.
But can it occur in a healthy person? Of course.
For example, after a fright.
A panic attack is not dangerous to life.
The symptoms are extremely unpleasant.
It causes a lot of discomfort.
And those of you who have experienced it are not hearing about it.
That a panic attack makes a person get stuck in a corner.
Do not leave the room.
It not only disorients, but also de-socializes a person.
He sometimes loses his job, his usual way of life, the circle of friends.
And this is dangerous.
A fright in the past, which will suddenly remind you of yourself in a few years,
against the background of some unpleasant events in your life,
can lead to the development of a panic attack.
How to treat a panic attack?
You can find a lot of advice on this on the Internet.
You feel a panic attack approaching.
And this running will be a reinforcement in this case.
Just watch it.
This is a great advice.
But those of you who have experienced a panic attack will be upset about it.
Imagine that a person has a panic attack.
I'll show you now.
Here it is.
There is a lack of air.
I am afraid of death.
I am afraid.
I feel bad.
My throat hurts.
My heart is pounding.
It is ready to burst.
Now I am ready to jump and run somewhere.
And just watch it.
It's amazing.
I've seen a lot of patients with a panic attack at the hospital.
I'm afraid that a psychologist who gave such a wise and wonderful advice
should watch it.
Just watch it.
I have never seen a patient in a hospital.
Patients came to him and described a possible panic attack.
But when you transmit it, you should not watch it.
Maybe you should watch a psychologist before watching your panic attack.
And if you are serious, you should consult a doctor.
Certainly.
Someone will laugh and shake their shoulders.
Again, go to the doctor.
Yes.
A psychotherapist, a psychiatrist, a neurologist and a psychologist will help you in this situation.
Let me remind you.
A panic attack develops against the background of anxiety disorder.
And here you need drugs.
Yes.
Anxiolytics are drugs that reduce the level of anxiety.
And antidepressants with an advantageous anti-anxiety effect.
Although, of course, there are wonderful recommendations.
And many of you who already live with these panic attacks know
that after a certain amount of time they fade away.
They are not as bright as they were at the very beginning.
Why?
I don't like the word acceptance.
But to some extent, this is the very process of acceptance
that occurs in people with panic disorders.
The first panic attacks were very bright.
But you understand that you won't die from them.
That they are coming.
It's unpleasant, yes.
But they pass.
And months go by.
And some years go by.
And a person begins to get used to it.
To adapt.
To accept.
To let go of the situation.
And, as he says to himself,
the panic attack is approaching.
Well, good.
Come.
And very often it does not come at all, this panic attack.
Or it flows with very erased variants of the flow.
What is the first aid in a panic attack?
The first aid in a panic attack, after all,
we must certainly start with drugs.
For example, when you take them under the tongue.
The rate of operation of this drug is almost the same
when you introduce it, for example, into the muscle or vein.
This is a medication therapy that you discuss with your doctor.
But what should you personally try to do
before you apply for an appointment with a specialist?
Can I take a package?
Yes, yes.
The same package that my patients and some specialists
very often troll.
Well, the package is a binding, it is a fixation.
But I will try to explain what the matter is.
Why does the package help to get rid of a person
from the bright symptoms of a panic attack?
I said that during a panic attack
you experience shortness of breath,
shortness of breath.
There is a so-called hyperventilation component.
You often breathe.
What happens in this situation?
Your brain is saturated with oxygen,
is rapidly saturated with a large amount of oxygen.
This brain does not need at all.
And here our task is to suppress the work of the respiratory center,
which is located in the prolonged brain.
To do this, we really take a package
and start breathing into this package.
What happens in this situation?
When breathing into the package,
you exhale air from the lungs,
you get the situation that in this package
the concentration of carbon dioxide increases
to a significant extent than in the environment,
in the air around us.
And this increased concentration of CO2
helps to slightly suppress the activity of the respiratory center.
The brain, figuratively speaking, begins to calm down.
This is a clear pathophysiological mechanism that works.
And from here another recommendation comes out.
This is a change in the breathing pattern,
which you can do
when using methods such as meditation, for example.
You stop breathing with your chest,
start breathing with your abdomen.
That is, from chest breathing you switch to abdominal breathing.
And you start changing the pattern of breathing,
changing the duration of inhale and exhale.
Normally, in its best version,
the duration of inhale is shorter than exhale.
That is, you take a short breath,
then a pause, and then a long exhale.
By the way, this will help you when a panic attack comes.
In its debut, you feel the first symptoms
and begin to breathe differently.
