Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder that causes sudden attacks of panic, which are very intense minutes of terror. Among the most common symptoms during a crisis, we have: heart rate, chest pain or tightness, numbness in hands and feet, feeling of suffocation, drowsiness legs, excessive sweating, feeling of losing control and / or fainting, feeling be out of themselves, pain in arms and other limbs, neck pain, feeling of having a stroke or enfartando, wanted to run and terrible thoughts (like death, is seeing a stretcher, among others). I live with this disease for over 20 years.
My first crisis was at 11 years.And nothing bad happened to have a crise.I was on vacation with my family in the car for my dad, drive at 40 km / h in a rural road.
Nothing, any fact that would generate fear or stress triggered it. It was only one crisis in 11 age, turning to have at age 14.But realized that fear on me.I´m routinely settled in to the doctor and, thank God, never had anything abnormal. But some fear and crisis persisted and the difficulty of diagnosis at the time led me to do more tests that a person does for a living .. electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, ecodopler, treadmill, mapping thyroid blood tests in droves, all x ray types and others. Nothing. According to the doctors, I had nothing..Was in 1990 (I was 14 years old). But they never stopped my seizures (were not daily, but the fear was) until, at 16 to 17 years a psychiatrist diagnosed me with such a disorder. Prescribed me an antidepressant and an anxiolytic. Crises ceased completely in a few days.The also decreases anxiety as well. But I had two relapses (age 18 and age 32) and, again, I have dealt with new medication (same type of medication, but more modern). I improved. They spent 3 years after the end of treatment (2 years in treatment) and came back to have crisis, but of lesser intensity and sporadics (certainly triggered by constant stress and problems). The remedy can cure you forever, but relapses can occur in over 50% ds cases after 3 years of the end of treatment (read the label I used an antidepressant). Treating panic disorder requires more than medicine. Most carriers have sporadics crises (except at the height of the crisis, where they can be even daily). A crisis lasts between 5 and 20 minutes on average, no more.The human body has its own means of self defense. As bad as that is a panic attack, it is nothing what ever witnessed. What makes a crisis worse OPINION are the thoughts that occur before and during a crisis. These thoughts feed a catastrophic crisis, making it more painful. In the worst crisis of my life where I thought I was, in fact, dying a few hours later (courtesy of the crisis, but a huge fear installed), went to PS pressure normal, normal heart beat, nothing arrhythmia. PS Have you stopped at inumerous times.I have 36 years .. I have done about 15 electros. So do not just take medications only. You must change the mind. Many patients spend months without even a crisis, only living in constant fear of having new crises.Is, somehow trauma. Many no longer have a normal life and eventually people become agoraphobic (fear of leaving / being away, affecting a considerable proportion of patients.) I was 3 months without leaving home. It is this fear that should was be treated.This trauma. And there are no pills, remedies for fears and traumas.Have remedy for fear of cockroach? There is a requirement to provide a change in the pattern of thought constant thought of having new crises.This should change, because if it does not change, the drugs only treat the physical symptoms of anxiety, not the cause (fear / trauma). Therapy offers this treatment. Therapy, the CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), exposes you to fear at some point, that may even generate a strong crisis after another average and even cease to be important. CBT helps to decrease the level of anxiety and intensity of a crisis. As I pointed out, a crisis is compounded by the fears and recurrent thoughts of another crisis. A panic attack, treatment with therapeutic quoted, may cease to exist or is it just an event not relevant. Many people are cured by complete panic, others not. This follows from the very condition of life of each, the stress of daily pressures. It is also important to get rid of things which can annoy you. We all have problems, but if you can eliminate some help too. Forget, for example, want to solve problems of others peoples.Forget want everything to be as you want. Flexibility in life is a step importante.No want to a hard weight in your hands. It's simple. They are choices. Someone will have a crisis for you? No. And while more "relax" you become more accessible to a person who surround you and sees the problems, the challenges in a more quiet. And more "relax", the chances of a crisis greatly reduce. Speaking to healing is always a doubt among experts. But it sure is taking a more relaxed, with less pressure, the chances diminish greatly. Review your vida.Look what you bother.Analyze what makes you anxious.And cut that is possible. Moreover, alcohol, caffeine, sodas like "cola", black tea, energy, foods that cause "stomach gas" who are enemies of anxiety. Who has born with a panic feature being anxious, wanting to bring the world back and be nervous and / or explosive. Control yourself. One method that has been learned in therapy .... breath control during a crisis (or threat), breathe slowly through the nose, 3 steps (might consider something every 1 second step) ... then slowly go releasing the mouth in three steps (or seconds). Only this method eliminates about 50% chances of having a crisis and who is in a crisis, its intensity decreases. Some people with panic disorder may also have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). It is another anxiety disorder, which does not necessarily generate panic attacks (despite being quite common), but hinders other carrier in their day-to-day. The person has bad thoughts in droves (obsessions) and can only decrease the relief of anxiety generated by such thoughts, doing rituals (compulsions). Compulsions are common touch something, repeat words, do "tics", prayers, repeated acts, redo things if clean / wash frequently and to excess and others. Around one third of patients with panic disorder have also OCD. Drug treatment in OCD is more complicated, and therapy is more effective in many cases. I also have OCD and briefly by two therapists spent a lot of quality. The OCD should be addressed without making rituals (compulsions). I could not go to therapy, for financial issue. But there are many books on these forward transtronos cited. I leave as an example, a very important book in my life, given by a very special person. The book is called, in portuguese: "Sem Medo de Ter Medo", Tito Paes de Barros Neto. Excellent book, easy to read, written by a renowned doctor in the area, which covers panic disorder, OCD, pro-traumatic stress disorder, social phobia. No such disease kill or leave sequelae, only that the injury socioeconomic left made me wish, at times, have a serious illness. Today, I'm eliminating everything that annoys me (which is possible). Certainly could have done before, but you just remember to correct certain points in your life, back when having a crisis or relapse ... lol) And more some information to complete: some people may develop panic attacks after drug use, excessive alcohol or thyroid problems. There is a heart condition called mitral valve prolapse, which can trigger seizures. But rarely is a problem that needs treatment, causing no risks common in health.It is common to anyone who has this problem (and ends up having panic attacks) it is similar to the way that panic disorder has no such problem.
