An anxiety attack is like an attack on our personal integrity: It seriously affects our mind and body, which should be naturally relaxed. However, our past experiences and the way we face the problems of the present are leaving their mark on us and that innate state of placidity is becoming increasingly restless and dangerous. Until the dreaded anxiety attack occurs.
Once said attack has been triggered, what can we do?
There is a study that shows that cognitive behavioral therapy is effective in treating anxiety disorders (source):
1) A very effective behavioral technique is the use of deep breaths to avoid hyperventilation and dizziness.
2) With cognitive therapy you try change those catastrophic thoughts associated with the unpleasant sensations that accompany anxiety: "I'm going to faint", "I'm going to die" ...
3) The psychotropic drugs they also tend to give very good results.
Conclusion: logic indicates that you should put yourself in the hands of a specialist as soon as possible to treat this problem. This will guide you on the steps to follow and how you can successfully deal with this problem.
