How to stop anxiety attack?

What is anxiety?

Anxiety is a normal reaction to risk, the body's reflexive fight-or-flight response that is activated when you feel threatened, under pressure, or confronted with a difficult scenario, such as a job interview, test, or first date. Anxiety, in moderation, isn't always a terrible thing. It can help you stay awake and focused, push you to take action, and inspire you to solve difficulties.

Anxiety disorders' signs and symptoms.

Other prevalent emotional symptoms, in addition to the basic symptom of excessive and illogical dread and concern, include:

• Feelings of fear or trepidation.
• Looking for warning indications of impending disaster.
• Preparing for the worst.
• Having difficulty concentrating.
• I'm nervous and jittery.
• Irritability.
• Feeling as if your mind has gone blank.
  Anxiety, on the other hand, is more than simply a sensation.

As a result of the body's fight-or-flight reaction, it also causes a variety of physical symptoms, such as pounding heart.

• Sweating.
• Headaches.
• Stomach upset.
• Dizziness.
• Diarrhea or frequent urination.
• Breathing difficulty.
• Muscle twitches or tension.
• Trembling or shaking
• Insomnia.
  
  

What is an anxiety attack?

Anxiety attacks, often known as panic attacks, are acute bouts of dread or panic. They frequently happen unexpectedly and without notice. Sometimes there is an apparent cause, such as being stuck in an elevator or thinking about the major speech you have to deliver, but in other circumstances, the attacks happen out of nowhere.

How can you put a halt to an anxiety attack?

• Take many long, deep breaths.
• Inhale for 5 seconds, then exhale for 7 seconds.
• Deep breathing enhances the delivery of oxygen to the brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a sensation of relaxation and serenity.
• Remind yourself that everything will be OK.
• Anxiety episodes might be frightening, but they are not harmful. You'll get through it if you stick with it.
• Don't put up a fight. The less you fight it, the faster it will evaporate. "I'm safe," you can convince yourself.
• Drop into your senses to re-center yourself.
  Try smelling your hand lotion or splashing cool water on your face.

What are the typical anxiety attack triggers?

Anxiety attacks are typically caused by someone who is extremely apprehensive or afraid in advance of a certain event or scenario. These incidents are more likely to occur in those who already suffer from anxiety in general.

And, given that anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health conditions (and frequently co-occur), anxiety episodes are rather common. However, this does not imply that they should be handled lightly. If you are having anxiety attacks, you should always seek the help of a mental health expert.
