Have you ever had a panic attack? People who suffer them describe them as overwhelming and marked by extreme nervousness and fear. A person having a stress induced attack of anxiety finds it difficult to function normally.
What happens during an anxiety attack? A stress induced anxiety or panic attack might be viewed as an overwhelming feeling of fear or nervousness that makes it nearly impossible to think or behave normally.
The body organs get the message from the brain to prepare for an emergency. The heart starts pumping blood faster to supply the organs extra energy. Muscles start tensing, eyes dilate and are on alert, hearing is keener.
When the brain signals the body is in danger the heart races providing emergency blood to the other organs: The eyes are on alert, the muscles tighten and tense, hearing is keener --- literally every part of your body is called on for greater energy.
When does the body reach its breaking point? Half the brain is saying: whoa! Slow down. We can't keep this up. The other half is reading the anxiety and continues to scream: Danger! The heart races, slows down, races, slows down. Eventually it becomes too much. And it stops.
When you suffer panic and anxiety, here are some of the things that happen:
* Trembling from feeling cold * Shaking from feeling nervous * Hard to breathe * Racing Heartbeat * Blood pressure high or low
* Feeling cold * Nervous trembling * Irregular or fast heart beat * Breathing difficulties * Blood pressures goes up or down
When you understand the mixed signals sent to your heart, and the rest of your organs, it is easy to understand why stress causes heart disease. - 15437
