How does panic attacks happens. Is it true that it could be cured by exercise alone?
ByI experience panic attack attacks about five years ago, and undergone psychiatric treatment for about two years. I thought that I`m already cured, but lately I am feeling the symptoms again. I imagine having heart attack or stroke and I`m feeling the real symptoms. What causes such feelings? I believe exercise has helped me got well before, but now, at one time, I got panic attack while jogging and has to run to the clinic.
Hi there. I am sorry to hear about your panic attacks. I have been suffering from these for about 15 years now … so I think I have some experience at this too!
Panic attacks generally come about from certain types of traumatic events from your past. For example, you could have been in a car accident and now have panic attacks every time you enter a car. In other words, for most attacks there tends to be a certain trigger event in the past.
There are however certain people that experience panic attacks for no apparent reason. These tend to be rare events — but they do happen.
The key to resolving these events are as follows:
1) (if there is a trigger event) - you need to be able to mentally disassociate yourself from the event or trigger that is causing the panic attack
2) Medication in general can help you to calm down and help to stop the cycle that causes worsening symptoms.
3) Behavioural therapy can help you to come to terms with the condition and help you to deal with the initial symptoms if you feel that one is coming on.
The symptoms are caused by the body’s "flight or fight" mechanism going into overdrive. There are generally huge rushes of adrenaline that cause the symptoms you mention in addition to palpitations, heavy breathing (preparing the body to run away but taking in more oxygen) etc
Exercise can help. It releases endorphins into the body that actually help you to calm down. I personally don’t think that the panic attack is related to the jogging but may be related to something else. You may want to speak to a doctor on this.
Anyway, I hope that this has (in part) helped to answer your question.
Good luck!!

hi
you are not alone.
many people including myself suffer from panic attacks.
i think it all starts when one starts to think negative…for example one could be accustomed to going to a certain place and feeling totally at ease for years without ever experiencing anxiety.
however something could happen that makes you suddenly begin to fear what you previously did not fear.
so the cycle begins…and before you know it you are locked in a cycle of fear and anxiety.
but actually it is all in your mind.
the place you went to is still the same…its you that have changed…positive thinking and courage are good helpers in this situation but in extreme cases one may need to seek professional help.
i hope that will not be the case for you.
also remember that fear when kept in check is normal…its only when its out of check then you have a problem.
