Physical Symptoms
When you get right down to the root of a panic attack, it’s the physical sensations that cause the spiraling of events that lead into a full-blown panic attack. Some will say that the process is started by a mental trigger, a bad thought or idea that manifests itself physically, which then starts the cycle. You might get a flutter in your chest that causes you to be scared or concerned. That fear triggers other physical sensations, and so on. Before you know it, you’ve spiraled into a panic attack. Because I was so obsessed with the fear of having another panic attack, I was very in tune with my body and any subtle physical sensations or changes that I experienced. Imagine having a watchdog that is monitoring your vital statistics twenty-four hours a day. I was the watchdog over my own body, acutely aware of the slightest change in heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, and so on. Because of that, I lived in a state of generalized anxiety, elevated and lowered by my current conditions, and sometimes elevated to the point of panic.
