People with crippling anxieties often turn to drugs that are prescribed by either a psychiatrist or their family doctor. The drugs that people take for anxiety have some effect in controlling some levels of a panic disorder; however there can be side effects over long term use of drugs. For instance, some drugs are used to lower blood pressure in patients in order to create a calming effect. Dizziness or drowsiness can be side effect with these drugs. Many people who have taken prescription drugs and have side effect will eventually turn to a more natural treatment for anxiety which usually do not have negative side effects in the users.
Panic attacks are very sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety, mounting physiological arousal, fear, stomach problems and discomfort that are associated with a variety of somatic and cognitive symptoms.
If you’ve experienced intense anxiety or worry for an extended period of time (6 months or more) then you are likely experiencing an anxiety disorder.
