Panic Attack Difficulty Breathing
Even though the majority of people have suffered from panic attacks at some point in their lives, but they don't know much about them. Some people think it's all in their head while others think they are having a heart attack. Are the attacks dangerous? Generally, the attacks are not fatal but sometimes the feelings that cause panic attacks such as depression and anxiety can lead to further problems like anxiety suicide. There are ways to treat and prevent the attacks as well as negative thoughts, you just have to be ready to take the steps necessary in effectively solving the problem.
While panic causes someone to feel physical symptoms that aren't really there such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, sweats, and dizziness, there are some serious effects of panic attacks that some people deal with. Not to mention the emotional symptoms of feeling like you're losing control or an intense, irrational fear. While these feelings and symptoms are generally caused by random attacks, those that are for no reason and come out of nowhere. Sometimes these symptoms of panic attacks can lead to more dangerous issues such as depression and phobias. But there are some people that suffer from panic attacks solely because of depression or anxiety issues. These panic attack sufferers must deal with other issues like anxiety suicide, which is the worst-case scenario with panic, and they may not know how to handle it.
Some effective ways to treat depression and the anxiety that can cause panic and anxiety suicide thoughts are through therapy and prescription drugs. The prescription drugs are a good short-term way of controlling the depression and anxious feelings that may occur throughout your day. Therapy is important because it offers a way to figure out what is causing these thoughts and ways to confront them whether in private sessions or group therapy. Thinking more in the long-term however, it's a good idea to make some lifestyle changes like eating healthier foods, getting more sleep, taking vitamins (especially vitamin B for depression), and exercising more. Taking advantage of medicinal and natural ways can help stop those suicidal thoughts and panic attacks.
If you or someone you know is having a problem with panic attacks or anxiety suicide thoughts, it's important to know that there are options out there and ways to get help. Just talk to your doctor and make sure that you are ready and willing to get the help.

Breathing problems--panic attacks?
My 17-year-old daughter has been complaining about off-and-on difficulty in breathing for the last year or so. We DO live in a high-allergen area, and she is a little over-weight. But she exercises frequently, and her breathing difficulties don't seem to interfere with that. For that matter, they come & go unpredictably, and there's no obvious reason.
There's a history of panic attacks in my family, although I've never had one. Could just this one symptom be indicative of anxiety issues or panic attacks?
Anxiety and panic attacks most definitely affect our breathing. Many people breathe incorrectly, from the top of their lungs, and this makes anxiety much worse. It is like a cycle. To stop the cycle, one must learn to breathe correctly. Have your daughter lie flat on her back on her bed, and place her hand over her abdomen. If she is breathing incorrectly she will not notice her abdomen rising and falling, This means she is breathing thru the top of her lungs, which causes light headedness and adds to panic and anxiety. Your daughter needs to practice breathing so that when she places her hand on her abdomen she can see and feel her abdomen rise and fall with each breath. She needs to practice like this often, until she learns to do it automatically. She can then do it even when she is sitting in class, or in a waiting room, or whatever. If we continually breathe thru the bottom of our lungs, it will soon become automatic. Panic attacks can usually stopped by breathing this way. Blessings to you and your daughter !
