Panic Attacks

What are Panic Attacks?

A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear or discomfort accompanied by physical symptoms — racing heart, difficulty breathing, chest tightness, dizziness, tingling, or a sense of unreality. They typically peak within 10 minutes. While a panic attack itself is not medically dangerous, recurrent panic attacks significantly restrict daily life and often develop into anticipatory anxiety about when the next one will occur.

How to know if Panic Attacks are chronic

• Experiencing more than one panic attack per month
• Developing significant avoidance or lifestyle restriction due to fear of panic attacks
• Panic attacks occurring in a variety of situations without a consistent external trigger
• Persisting for more than a month

Panic Attacks can be associated with the following conditions:

• • Social Anxiety
  • General Anxiety Disorder
  • Limbic Cross Wiring
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

How brain training & re-origin can help

Panic attacks are driven by an overactive amygdala — the brain’s alarm system — firing a full emergency response in the absence of real danger. Re-origin’s program trains the brain to recalibrate this response, using neuroplasticity-based techniques to build a new, calmer default reaction to internal and external triggers. Many members report a dramatic reduction in panic attack frequency as their program progresses.
