Natural Cures For Panic Symptoms

Are you suffering from panic symptoms? Are you suffering from any of these symptoms; stomach cramps, diarrhea, chest pains, a pounding heart? Anxiety affects us all and it is a natural response to fear.

Symptoms of anxiety differ for everyone and are designed to help us cope in such situations. Suffering from anxiety symptoms doesn’t necessarily make you an anxiety disorder sufferer. Put simply the stress response is the body’s natural defense.

The stress response is essentially what we believe as symptoms of anxety. Fear, worry and anxiety are interpreted by the body in limited ways. The body’s release of adrenaline and other stress hormones is it’s way of dealing with a threat.

Just as the subconscious reacts the same way to vivid imagery and a real experience, a real threat and emotional fear are seen the same. The fight or flight response is designed to help you during times of danger. Say for example you’re driving and a car swerves out in front of you. In a matter of seconds your body fires up a chain of chemical responses.

You may experience your heart racing, your muscles tighten, and your senses heighten. With these changes occurring you might find that your reaction and control improves potentially saving you from harm. Sufferers of frequent anxiety attacks experience the very same stress response when they have a panic attack.

An anxiety sufferer might see fear itself as a threat. For example, someone who suffers from social phobia may have experienced a situation where they thought that they were being ridiculed and embarrassed in public. They are afraid that another incident may happen again.

Just thinking about another incident happening might cause symptoms of anxiety. This threat to one’s pride, ego and self esteem is acknowledged by the subconscious. The body perceives this threat in exactly the same way as it perceives a real threat and does so by releasing hormones to help prepare you for the threat.

Our biology has barely changed over the centuries yet our world has evolved a great deal. We are no longer on guard in fear of being attacked from wild creatures. Yet our stress response is being triggered too frequently in times of stress, anxiety, fear and worry.

This is believed to be one major cause of the development of anxiety disorders. In patients of anxiety disorders, this stress response has become hypersensitive to triggering. Symptoms of anxiety increase because of this, making day to day life hard to deal with for sufferers.

What is good news is that symptoms of anxiety are a learned response. This means that it is possible to replace this response with a new learned response.
