Panic Attacks

Many times someone who is having a panic attack may not know that is what happening. Your heart may feel like it is going to pound out of your chest or it may even feel painful like you are having a heart attack. Your head may feel like you are in a whirlwind tunnel. You may feel like you have bugs crawling on you and you may feel cold and clammy. You may also feel hot and sweaty during this attack. One of the biggest tools to help during this time is to focus just on your breathing. You may also need to focus on a picture or something that you can look at and regain some control over your own body.

Panic Attacks can be scary and frustrating. Many who suffer from these will self medicate and never really understand why they are happening. If you would like more information please contact me.
