Would You Recognise An Anxiety Attack?

by Ron G Smith

Panic (and anxiety) attacks are on the increase. The cause of the increase isn’t fully understood, but modern life with all its pressure and stress could be a factor. No matter the cause, they are increasing and causing more people more problems than ever.

Could you spot if you were having a panic or anxiety attack? Not a simple question to answer because symptoms can vary from the downright petrifying to almost unnoticeable. You may just feel a bit of a hot sweat. But you may also feel like your heart is bursting out of your chest.

I think if you were having the more serious symptoms you would know you needed some type of help. But you could also be having mild symptoms and not even know it’s an anxiety related attack. These mild symptoms could well be warning signs of something worse to come.

My wife suffered a bad panic attack while she was out driving our car. I probably needn’t say that it wasn’t just the attack that shook her badly, but the fact she was driving and could have had a major accident. This type of situation just doesn’t warrant thinking about.

If you’ve been having a few strange moments lately, maybe even experiencing one or more of the following… Feeling anxious or on edge, can’t sleep, can’t concentrate, can’t sit still or feeling irritated. These symptoms could well be a sign of things to come. Things much worse.

Before you actually get into a panic about these symptoms let me assure you there are many things that can cause these symptoms. And none of them are anything to worry about. Lack of sleep may just be too much caffeine. Fidgeting may be uncomfortable clothing.

But before we dismiss everything it’s still safer to be sure you aren’t a panic attack victim. Taking an anxiety symptoms test can give you a much clearer idea of your risk. You simply tick a few yes or no boxes and total your score at the end.

Then you can make the choice to take further action or not.
