Those of you who suffer from panic attacks know the awful feeling when your throat starts to close up, you get dizzy or lightheaded, maybe feel tightness in your chest and have difficulty breathing. Your vision may be affected and you can become either hot or cold or alternate between both. You may feel nauseous.
You may believe you are going crazy or having a heart attack. The more you are convinced it is one of those the worse the symptoms become. Fear really takes over at that point and makes the whole thing worse as you envision death, surgery, hospitalization, public embarrassment, being hauled away to a psychiatric hospital by police or emergency staff and long lasting health issues.
You may not believe it, but it is possible to stop one of these bad boys right in their tracks. It all takes place in your brain and you can take steps to correct it. You control your brain or your brain will control you. And I know it works because I have done it myself.
