16.01.2022 What is a panic attack? Panic attack symptoms can strike at any time. They come on very rapidly and usually peak within a few minutes. Symptoms often include: sweating shaking... increased heart rate chest pain shortness of breath choking nausea or pain in the stomach dizziness, feeling lightheaded or faint numbness or tingling depersonalisation (feeling detached from yourself or your surroundings) hot or cold flushes fear of dying sense of impending doom or danger. What causes a panic attack? Panic attacks are very common, with up to 40% of Australians experiencing a panic attack at some stage in their life. During a panic episode, someone is overwhelmed and disabled by the physical symptoms listed above. The panic reaches its peak after about 10 minutes and can take up to half an hour to subside. A panic episode leaves the person feeling temporarily exhausted and drained. While common and debilitating, panic attacks are distinct from but a feature of panic disorder. Panic attacks can be caused by: chronic, persistent stress genetics a temperament that is sensitive to stress or negative emotions changes in the way your brain functions. Treating and preventing panic attacks There are self-help, psychological and medical options available to treat and avoid panic attacks. Panic is associated with anxiety and the treatments are similar. During a panic attack: Avoid ‘self-talk’ that focuses your attention on your symptoms don’t tell yourself to ‘stop panicking!’ Reassure yourself that the symptoms of a panic attack are uncomfortable but not life threatening. Focus your attention on something outside your own body and symptoms. For example, try to recall the words to your favourite song or concentrate on the sights and sounds around you. Fleeing from the situation will confirm your fear that your panic symptoms are unbearable. Try to sit and allow the symptoms to pass and get confidence in your ability to cope.

03.01.2022 Planning for future care: If you were very unwell and not able to communicate your preferences to others, who would you want to speak for you? What would you want them to say? Advance care planning helps to ensure that your loved ones and your doctors know what your health and personal preferences really are. That can give everyone some peace of mind.
