Anxiety is not that bad though. It keeps us primed, as if it trains us to be always on our toes. It also keeps us psychologically alert. These exercises can be good but to a certain extent or limit only. Beyond the limit, things may start to get nasty.
When we are engulfed with a bout of panic attack, we have one of two choices. We can either face it or get away from it. This is better known as the fight/flight response. Given a choice, would you face panic attack and experience its full impact, or would you rather retreat or run away from it?
If we equate panic to fear (the two are similar in a lot of ways), the easy way out is to avoid it. But there is always a great chance (and you can be sure of it) that it will haunt you again and again. Whatever that fear is, literally speaking, this will keep you on the run and you will always be checking and looking behind you, cowering from it. The more you run away from it, the more it will chase you and make fun of you. It will be like a ghost running after you with a voice or sound that goes boooo
!
Given this kind of a situation, it is apparently more logical to face panic attacks. Fight it - or befriend it - whichever turns out to be a better option, and experience its full impact. There is a saying that experience is the best teacher. It is also true that when you are experienced on a certain situation, you get to handle this situation better the next time around because you already know how to deal with it. The more experiences you get out of it, the more confident you become. And when you are confident, what you used to fear will not make you fearful anymore. You will get immune to it. The more instances you are able to handle it, the more capable you will be each time it occurs, like practice. Practice makes perfect. In the end, you will perfect the art of handling panic attacks, from fearing panic attacks to handling it remarkably in a positive way. Thats an achievement.
Heart Attack Symptoms, Causes and Treatment: Small Lifestyle Changes Can Help Prevent Heart Attack!
Ask a few well informed people over the age of fifty: What are they afraid of the most? Four out of five would answer: Sudden death due to heart attack. Heart attack is becoming a common cause of death after the age of fifty. Heart attach is preventable to a large extent and we know how to prevent it.

Heart receives blood for its own nourishment from coronary arteries, the two blood vessels that are the first to come off the aorta and lie embedded in the heart muscle itself.

Now, lets go back to the point where you still dread panic attacks with a question you might raise that goes: Just how am I supposed to face a panic attack knowing all too well it might subdue and eat me out of my guts? The answer: You dont do anything about it. Just let it be. Let it run its entire course and just experience it. But then you may ask: What if I dont survive it? The answer: You will definitely survive it.
Keep this in mind. A panic attack is a state of mind, an apprehension. It is just imagined. There is no way a person will experience a brush on something like a heart attack, a coma, or even death because a panic attack is not life threatening. There is never a recorded case of a person who has died as a result of panic attack. Rest your mind to the fact that panic attack is not a physical ailment, even with the physical manifestations like sweating, palpitations, stomach cramps, and all that. You will be able to face and experience its full impact without any life-threatening effects. Panic attack? Bring it on. This is the attitude you must adopt the next time you have a bout with it.
