Can Symptoms Of Anxiety And Panic Attacks Cause Me Any Harm?
Though what you feel can be extremely frightening and unpleasant, these thoughts and feelings come to nothing. No-one has ever died or gone crazy from a panic attack, and no-one has lost total control of themselves either. Know that nothing bad will happen to you during an attack and it will come to an end despite the feelings of sheer terror. The side effects of having panic attacks do however have an influence on your life and how you live it. You may start to fear having a panic attack and begin to avoid certain places which is why a large number of panic attack sufferers go on to develope agoraphobia – described as the fear of being in places or situations from which there is no easy means of escape. You can have panic attacks without agoraphobia but if you have agoraphobia, the likelihood is that you suffer from panic attacks.
