More often than not, we do not know what causes panic attacks.
Even after we boggle our heads to come up with an answer, it is still difficult to tell what could be causing this highly irritating and inconvenient disorder.
I can help you lessen the burden, but I believe we should begin with giving answers to the question - what is a panic attack? A panic attack is actually a natural reaction of your body to things and events that your body considers as a threat.
Examples of these are stressful events, a disease, and the likes.
These attacks, however, become a disorder when your life begins to crumble because of it.
That means you cannot work well, socialize with other members of the community, or simply said, you will stop living like a normal individual would.
The disorder is not really life threatening if you look at it from the medical perspective, but it could definitely ruin how you live your life in general.
This is probably because the attacks are sudden and most often unexpected; one minute you are having coffee with some friends and on the next you are hyperventilating.
Furthermore, the symptoms are very uncomfortable that every attack seems to be a traumatizing experience.
Now that you have an overview of what this disorder is it is time to discuss what causes panic attacks.
There are countless of reasons why you have this disorder but there are few that prevail.
One of these causes is heredity.
Unfortunately for the keen of those who developed this disorder, it can be passed on from one generation to the next.
Another probable cause is the way you see things or deal with your problems.
If you are the kind of person who thinks keeping your negative emotions bottled up is a better idea than confronting anyone, then you are at risk for developing this disorder.
Yes, those bottled up emotions may well escalate to panic or anxiety attacks.
One more thing that could trigger or cause your attacks is taking drugs.
I don't mean taking prohibited drugs, the drugs I am referring to are regular prescription drugs that have an initial adverse effect of panic attacks.
There is no need to fret though as like what I have said, this is just an initial reaction to the drug and the chances of it lasting longer than expected is very slim.
You may also consider a tragic event, like a lost of a loved one, to be a triggering factor to the disorder.
Imagine how stressful and traumatic it could be to see someone die right before your very eyes.
That image could stick in your mind and the stress and anxiety it brings about can lead to your attacks.
Now you see how many things can actually cause your attacks; and that is just the tip of the ice berg, there are many other things that we can discuss.
For now, let me just say that the best way to avoid your attacks, is to avoid stress in general.
