Panic and anxiety attacks

Panic and anxiety attacks: Anxiety can be accompanied by physical effects such as heart palpitations, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath,

stomach aches, or headaches. Physically, the body prepares to deal with what it perceives as a threat. Blood pressure and heart rate are increased,

sweating is increased, blood flow to muscle groups increases and immune and digestive system functions are inhibited (the fight or flight response).

External signs of anxiety may include pale skin, sweating, trembling and many others. Someone suffering from anxiety might also experience it as a

sense of dread or panic.

Panic and anxiety attacks:
Panic attacks are sudden surges of overwhelming fear that that comes without warning and without any obvious reason. It is far more intense than

having anxiety or the feeling of being 'stressed out' that most people experience. One out of every 75 people worldwide will experience panic attacks

at one time in their lives.
