If you have been hurting from panic attacks for a very long time now, you pretty much know what the panic attack symptoms are. From hyperventilating to fainting, and everything else in between; the whole enchilada if you want to put it that way. But have you ever thought of how your system might respond while experiencing all these symptoms? If it concerns you, then I will discuss symptoms of panic attack and try to describe everything in an unambiguous way.
So let us begin with discussing the first symptom which is hyperventilation or the feeling of being drowned. I have already experienced hyperventilating but I do not know the feeling of being drowned. It is similar to what you feel after running really fast for an hour and attempting to catch your breath after. You breathe in a really fast fashion and your chest generally hurts.
Because of the tightening of the muscles of your chest and the lack of oxygen in your body, the outcome is hyperventilation. But breathing more rapidly will in fact make you acquire less oxygen because the breathing becomes shallow.
Fainting, the second symptom that I will talk about is actually because of the uneven breathing that you have in hyperventilation. So, most people really faint when they have panic attacks but it is not true to all of them. This event is sometimes because of the lack of oxygen in the brain and loosing too many carbon dioxide. Fainting is in fact not injurious, what is injurious is when you hit your head into something hard when you faint.
Another common symptom is tachycardia or palpitations. The sudden rise in your heart rate is a result of what we call as the body’s sympathetic nervous response. When under a lot of stress, the body feels that it is being damaged by an inner or outer factor which starts the sympathetic nervous response. This will make you to either run from the reason or oppose it.
How can it prepare your body? It is actually very uncomplicated, the lungs, heart and brain are the organs that you need during the “battle” and so, the concentration is put in those organs. In order to develop those organs, they should obtain a great supply of oxygen through your blood. And the better way to make this happen is to make your heart work, right?
Consequently, this next sign is also a result of your sympathetic nervous response; it is called diaphoresis or too much sweating. The sweating is the outcome of a hyperactive metabolism during attacks.
Upset stomach, bowel movement changes, and trembling are one of the countless other panic attack symptoms that have not been discussed here. In general, all of them is because of the sympathetic nervous response. What you should know though is that none of these signs can directly kill you, so you can relax now.
