Anxiety is a normal condition that we experience oftentimes.
If it reaches a level that will impair our daily tasks then it is already becoming pathological most especially if they are suddenly triggered.
To cure anxiety, one must first analyze what causes it.
Anxiety is best countered if you can first start on its underlying etiologies.
Depending on the type of anxiety, there are varied causes of anxiety attacks.
A suitable example is panic attacks.
An intense outburst of apprehension and terror is felt by the individual that is usually manifested with an initial increase in heart rate and strengthened heart beat.
The culprit of panic attacks is usually an underlying phobia.
Especially if the person is suddenly exposed to an intensified stimulus representing his or her phobia then that person will go into an extreme anxiety attack.
When a person is acrophobic (afraid of heights) and asked to go to the top floor of a skyscraper, then he or she is most likely to go into panic most especially if this person will look down at the incredible depth below.
Trying to avoid heights is a good technique but if you're trying to cure a phobia then you must learn to face it.
Another anxiety is the state of depression.
I guess we all know that depression usually arrives due to an intensified feeling of sadness and sorrow.
If ever you experienced a recent break-up or have a member of your family dead then you will go into a state of depression.
Yes, this is perfectly normal but if it lasts for an extended period of time then this is of utmost concern.
Moreover, medications too can induce anxiety.
Steroids, antidepressants and even the commonly used bronchodilators for asthma patients can trigger anxiety attacks.
For bronchodilators, these types of drugs have a therapeutic aim to increase the diameter of the passageway of air (the bronchus).
However, this drug can also cause an adverse effect of tachycardia or an increased heart rate.
If ever the patient suffers this unexpected effect then he or she might go into a state of anxiety.
Just imagine if you're the ones who is already gasping for air and then treated with bronchodilators then suddenly, you can feel your heart pounding.
This situation is scary especially for those who don't know that your heart rate may be altered a little when taking bronchodilators.
Lastly, for Obsessive Compulsive Diseases (OCD) the anxiety can happen if the person's obsessions or compulsions are not met.
An Obsessive-compulsive patient is often an anxious person that's why this person needs to help him or herself by giving in to the anxieties.
If the patient's obsession is washing his or her hands then this patient must wash hands all the time.
If ever this cycle is broken, he or she may go nuts! For this instance, a well structured environment may be required.
