We are not sure what causes anxiety attacks, even the experts aren’t sure. However, we do have a natural response when we are stressed or in danger and the body reacts with a variety of symptoms. Your heart speeds up, you start breathing faster and all of a sudden you have a huge burst of energy. We call this our “fight or flight” response. This helps us either cope with or run away from danger. When we have these responses, but we are not in danger, an anxiety or panic attack occurs.
These attacks can also be caused by other things, such as:
- A family history of anxiety attacks or panic attacks
- An imbalance of chemicals in the brain.
- Hyperthyroidism or overactive thyroid
- heart or breathing problems
- depression
- mood disorder
- abusing alchohol
- use of nicotene
- use of too much caffeine
- medications used to treat asthma or heart problems
- illegal drug usage such as cocaine or marijuana
- Enduring lots and lots of stress for long periods of time
