Anxiety Chest Pain - Panic Strikes

Panic Disorder is described by repeated panic or anxiety that usually happens unexpectedly: "out of nowhere ... without warning I felt chest pain and anxiety." Easy situational (phobic) panic may be present, but usually there is no consistent prevention. Unexplainably, when panics happen to occur in crowded areas, sufferers tend to ascribe the episode to being in those places, and they start to stay away from public places as per the disorder called Agoraphobia with Panic Attacks. Avoidance does not happen when panics strike the sufferer is in other spots, like at homeor in a forest-few, if any, agoraphobics avoid places they need to survive.

Anxiety is described by the sudden onset of signs like anxiety chest pain or discomfort; dizziness, or unsteady feelings; paresthesias (usu¬ally numbness and tingling ); hot and cold flashes; faintness; and fear of going crazy, or doing something totally manic during the episode. Each of these signs can be caused by fast breathing. Three manic episode during a three-week cycle are needed to pass the requirements for the diagnosis of this disability, but men and women with , like anxiety chest pain, who fail to experience three manic episodes in such a short time may possibly suffer from a class of Anxiety Disorder.

Women are somewhat more likely than men to suffer from this disorder. The first signs most often occur in high pubescence or early adult life but may begin somewhat earlier or later. Sometimes people suffering describe that it lasts for a short period never to reappear; while other people observe a couple series of panics separated by panic-free periods of time, and a few develop a major disorder with panics and anxiety chest pain. Some men and women use liquor in an effort to avoid panics and anxiety chest pain, which is useless and may lead to the aggravation associated with liquor abuse.

People with Anxiety Chest Pain often demand check up and treatment from general physicians because they are rationally frightened that they may suffer from a medical malady. By the time they reach a doctor, the panic has most often disappeared and the specialist can't find anything mentally misaligned. In the ER, a diagnosis of "acute hyperventilation complex" is often drawn upon, which may initially be satisfying to both doctor and patient but which does little or nothing to ensure a more definitive condition and efficient long-term treatment.

The patient may feel disconcerted that he or she has been confused about nothing but leave reassured by a careful checkup. When the next panic happens, help is often sought again, either from the same or another physician. One experiment figured out that people with a Panic Disorder had seen an average of 10 doctors before the disorder was finally pin pointed. General anxiety may happen between panics, as may some chest pain anxiety and reclusion, although if the latter become more apparent, a diagnosis of Agoraphobia with Panic is made.
