If you’re trying to find the answer to the question, “how do you control an anxiety attack,” you’re not alone. It’s estimated that 1 in 75 individuals will experience some degree of anxiety attacks in their lifetime, ranging from very mild attacks to very serious attacks.
If you’re searching for a solution, though, I’m guessing you’re in the group that experiences symptoms that are serious enough to interfere with your life to a certain degree. This article was written with you in mind – it will cover some basic information about anxiety attacks as well as the most effective treatment I’ve discovered for this condition.
Ultimately, an anxiety attack is a fear-based condition. What I mean by that statement is that you begin to fear having an anxiety attack again, and this fear is actually what brings the symptoms on.
In most cases an anxiety attack will occur at the worst times, and it’s usually because you begin to think about what could happen if you had an attack in that environment.
For example, you may be in the grocery store shopping, and begin to think about what would happen if an anxiety attack struck you right there in the store. How embarrassing could it be? Would this be the one that finally leads to your death? What if you can’t find a way out of the store quick enough?
These fears begin a chain reaction within your body called the Fight or Flight response. Essentially, your body perceives the potential anxiety attack as a threat, and it prepares itself to fight it. So, things will begin to change within the body.
Your blood pressure and heart rate will rise (which is why you may have a feeling like your heart is beating very quickly, or it may even feel as if your heart is skipping beats), you may begin to feel nauseous because of the adrenaline being pumped through your body, you may feel light headed with the extra blood being pumped to your brain, maybe even a bit faint.
So, how do you help an anxiety attack? Many would tell you that the solution is therapy, breathing exercises, yoga, or even medications. Although these treatments may help for some, they are usually very slow at providing results, and medications can have some very serious side effects, including addiction.
As a doctor who has worked with many people who experience anxiety attacks, I can tell you from experience that the most effective way to treat it is actually using a simple method called the “One Move Technique.”
This is a method that you are able to do on your own, without having to go through extensive therapy or take medications, and it will help you eliminate the symptoms of an anxiety attack very quickly.
