We don't fully understand a lot about panic attack symptoms and panic disorder. This lack of understanding makes it difficult to know how to address the problem, which is frustrating for those involved. There does seem to be a correlation, however, between major life events and the onset of panic attacks. Divorce or starting a family are good examples. There is some evidence that indicates there may be a genetic component to panic disorders or frequent panic attacks. When we will learn more concrete information is not known, but that is not definitive. The following is a look at only a few of the many possible symptoms of a panic attack.
Some of the rather odd indicators of panic attacks, meaning less physical feelings, at least in the implication we usually think about them. Some people are confronted with signs involving a sensation of "being dreamlike." There is a feeling of existing in futility, or feelings of marked disconnection from one's actual self. As you can envision, that must be a rather problematical set of sensations to have to contend with, furthermore it can make a person feel really frightened and frazzled.
Feeling faint, dizzy, or very weak is another type of symptom that is seen with panic disorders, or frequent panic attacks. These particular symptoms are overlapping and can be caused by other physical problems.
Another symptom of a panic attack is sudden blurry vision. This is dangerous very obvious reasons. If your vision becomes very blurry suddenly while driving your car, this poses serious potential risks. Someone having a stroke can also experience suddenly blurry vision. It is highly recommended that you let your doctor know if you experience any of the more serious symptoms of a panic attack so they can do further testing and evaluations. Certain types of eye infections can cause sudden vision anomalies like blurriness and extreme tunnel vision. So that is another potential point of possible confusion.
Feeling like you're choking is one of the more dire symptoms associated with panic attacks. This is especially terrifying because a panic attack can last close to fifteen minutes. But the symptoms can unfortunately last longer, sometimes. Feeling like you're choking, even though you're not, is a highly stressful situation for anyone. If you have never felt this symptoms before, then you would rightly be extremely concerned and totally stressed-out by it.
Symptoms of a panic attack are typically different for men and women. Similarities do exist, however. Also, men seem to experience attacks much less than women, about 50% less for men than women. Keeping track of your symptoms in case of future attacks will help identify whether or not you are having a panic attack..
