Definition of Anxiety Panic Attacks

By the Mayo Clinic Staff

“It’s normal to feel anxious or worried at times. Everyone does. In fact, a moderate amount of anxiety can be good. Anxiety helps you respond appropriately to real danger, and it can help motivate you to excel at work and at home.

But if you often feel very anxious without reason and your worries disrupt your daily life, you may have generalized anxiety disorder. Generalized anxiety disorder causes excessive or unrealistic anxiety and worry — well beyond what’s appropriate for a situation. “

Living with anxiety panic attacks can be difficult, but treatment is available.  Fear is what incapcitates and the treatment that worked in my family was “Panic Away” http://www.wix.com/kjsurette/Panic-Anxiety-Attacks

Symptoms

By the Mayo Clinic Staff

“Signs and symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder can vary in combination or severity. Generalized anxiety disorder symptoms may include:

  • Restlessness
  • Feeling of being keyed up or on edge
  • Feeling a lump in your throat
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Fatigue
  • Irritability
  • Impatience
  • Being easily distracted
  • Muscle tension
  • Trouble falling or staying asleep
  • Excessive sweating
  • Shortness of breath
  • Stomach-ache
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache

If you have generalized anxiety disorder, you may experience times when your worries don’t completely consume you, but you still feel rather anxious. You may feel on edge about many or all aspects of your life. For example, you may feel intense worry about your safety or that of your loved ones, or you may have a general sense that something bad is about to happen, even when there’s no apparent danger.

Generalized anxiety disorder often begins at an early age, and the signs and symptoms may develop more slowly than in other anxiety disorders. Many people with generalized anxiety disorder can’t recall when they last felt relaxed or at ease.”

One of the first things the doctors, or at least my doctor said was, are you depressed about something?  No I’m not depressed, I’m generally happy, most of the time, was my answer.  But I’m not going to delve into everything we went through.  I’m just going to say that I found help with “Panic Away”.  It can change everything in your life and I can’t say enough about what it did for us.  Try it. It works. http://www.wix.com/kjsurette/Panic-Anxiety-Attacks
