Anxiety is the natural feeling in an intense situation, such as speaking in public, going on a blind date, or doing something you are not comfortable about.  If you feel anxious or fear for a logical reason this is a normal response. If you feel overwhelming unexpected fears that appear without warning and with no cause, it is no longer regular anxiety but a panic attack.

Cause of panic attack can be from risk factors, triggers, or an underlying medical cause.

Risk factors can include–

• Being female:  Women are twice as likely as men to have an anxiety attack.
• Being in your late teens or early 20s: People tend to show signs at this age.
• Heredity: If one of your parents had panic attacks, you are 4-7 times more likely to get it than someone whose parents didn’t have it. But not everyone can trace it back to a relative. 3 of 4  people with panic attacks have no close relatives with similar symptoms.
• Going through stressful events: such as a divorce, the death of a loved one or the end of an important relationship.
• Having a difficult childhood: such as abuse, foster care, or from a “broken” home. 
• Worrying a lot: worriers or those who get very anxious about things.
• Abusing alcohol and drugs: This may be because drugs or alcohol withdrawal can cause panic attacks. Or it may happen because they try to blot out their anxieties with alcohol or drugs.

A lot of medicines cause increased anxiety at first. Panic attacks due to medicines may be temporary or continue for a long time. Many stimulants and depressants such as caffeine, alcohol, nicotine and many others pharmacological s trigger panic attacks and are thought to be some of the common panic attack causes.

Symptoms of mild anxiety attacks are the same for severe anxiety attacks. When they are mild you can still function and be otherwise perfectly happy and healthy. Symptoms are usually dizziness, increased sweating, increased heart rate, and shaking. These symptoms along with anxiety may mean you are experiencing some mild anxiety attacks.

Symptoms of anxiety attack may include:

• Intense heartbeat
• Difficulty breathing
•  Heart palpitations
•  Nausea
•  Excessive sweating
•  Trembling
•  Chest pains
•  Fear of going crazy
•  Fear of dieing
•  Sudden chills

Because everybody is different, symptoms during anxiety attacks can vary. Everybody reacts differently.

The symptoms of a panic attack can be so severe that many often seek medical help thinking they are having a heart attack. The medical symptoms of chest pain and difficulty breathing cannot be taken too lightly, but panic is often never considered as a cause.

It is important to remember:
*  A panic attack CANNOT stop you from breathing.
*  A panic attack CANNOT cause your death.
*  A panic attack CANNOT make you go crazy.

Panic attacks can be controlled with medication prescribed by a doctor which can help control the symptoms. There are also  homeopathic solutions available for panic attacks, anxiety and stress. You may have already tried hypnosis or some time consuming 30 step program.
