Panic Attacks
I never used to have panic attacks before i had my kid.. but during my pregnancy.. i had what you called panic disorder. The strange thing is after having the kid.. it wasn’t that bad anymore.. but once in a blue moon.. i get the attack. Just like last Sunday at the mall. I was happily laughing with someone that i know.. and it happened. I had a kinked below my breast.. and then it started. I was all sweaty.. and felt like fainting.
So what is a Panic Attack..??
“Panic attacks are a common feature of all types of anxiety. A panic attack is a sudden rush of intense fear that is accompanied by physical sensations that can include heart palpitations, dizziness, sweating, and nausea. Anxiety disorders include panic disorder with and without agoraphobia (recurrent, unexpected panic attacks accompanied by fear of future attacks and may involve avoiding places or situations associated with the attacks). In 2002, just under 1 million people 15 or older reported having suffered from panic attacks at some point during their lifetime, according to Statscan in its Canadian Community Health Survey results. “
It didn’t last long.. just a couple of hours.. and i’m back to normal. As much as I hate it.. i have to learn to live with it. Therefore, I am doing alot of research on it lately.
