A doctor will explore the following aspects of the patient's life in order to discover the causes.
1.
environmental condition 2.
family's medical condition 3.
own personality 4.
brain chemistry 5.
past trauma.
If it is found that the patient have no significant problem in the areas mentioned, the doctor will then inquire on other possibilities that can trigger anxiety attack such as chronic fatigue, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic headaches, sleep apnea, thyroid disorders, adrenal disorders, diabetes, asthma, ulcers, hypertension, Ritalin, migraines, particular heart conditions, drugs, epilepsy, alcohol withdrawal, inhalers/respiratory medications, weight loss drugs, steroids, etc.
The environment in which the patient lives in can cause anxiety attacks.
For example, it may be poverty, broken family or dangerous neighborhood.
Even substance abuse within family member can be the cause too as well as mental disorders.
The patient's personality also plays a major role.
People with low self esteem for instance are prone to these attacks mainly because low self esteem leads to self criticism that in the end can leave the person feeling hopeless and threaten.
The brain monitors the amount of feel good hormone and stressor hormones and should there be an imbalance in these hormones, this will create a problem.
Anxiety attacks can surface as a result of traumatic past experience.
Abuse during childhood is a very common one as well as war and natural disasters.
The least you can do is to cut down on coffee, sugar and alcohol.
What you can do more of is to exercise regularly, drink clean water, get enough sleep, etc.
Anxiety attacks are likely to be part of an unhealthy lifestyle, so it naturally makes sense to live your life as healthily as you can to cure anxiety attacks.
Gradually cut down on unhealthy habits while gradually increasing healthy habits.
This will slowly but surely change your lifestyle for the better.
Couple this with appropriate treatment from a qualified professional, you are definitely on the road to recovery.
In the meantime, your attitude is important as well.
It should be one that is supportive of your getting healed from these debilitating attacks.
In any case, it is always good to have a positive mind-set.
In the first place, you must have imagined negatively to have provoked such attacks; now is the time for you to make amends.
It takes a lot of will and courage to start making this significant changes to yourself.
Take it one step at a time, starting with making an appointment with a health professional.
Just remember, it is never too late to start.
Take this step to recovery as a challenge.
Don't give up too easily but at the same time, don't be too hard on yourself.
Perseverance is the key to success.
The amount of effort you put in determines your speed of recovery.
You should be proud of the fact that as a victim, you have put your feet forward in ensuring a better life for yourself.
If you fail, try again and remind yourself that as humans, you will make mistakes and earn from them.
You are really recovering at your own pace so whenever you can, leap a few steps if possible, but when it feels difficult on you, lighten up and remember that this is not the last time.
What I am saying here is to keep everything in perspective.
Quite likely, the key to happiness is to stay in balance and not throw yourself into one end of the spectrum again, as you have done before.
It is good to surround yourself with people who cares about you and understand you.
Your family and friends are those likely to feel this way about you.
You can also find comfort in strangers who shares the same problem as you.
These are your local support group that you can look up or inquire about.
Remember that you are not on your own to stop anxiety attacks.
Even if you feel that you have the strength within you to take that step towards recovery, it makes a world of difference if you have the support from other people who cares about you.
