Panic attacks are characterized by unexpected and repeated episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, and more. These sensations often mimic symptoms of a heart attack or other life-threatening medical conditions. As a result, the diagnosis of panic disorder is frequently not made until extensive and costly medical procedures fail to provide a correct diagnosis or relief.
The owners of http://www.anxietypanic.com, Richard and Amy Korkiakoski were invited to be on Lifestyle Magazine to share their stories and let others know panic attacks do not have to take over your life.
i am 58 years old and have had panic attacks since I was 13. I have been through desenitization, a bunch of different shrinks and psychiatrists, about a dozen different meds. Just like any disorder some people will never be cured. The only reason I was able to make a living (and not go on SSDI) is I worked only one block from my house.
