Panic attacks are so severe that many who suffer them think they are having a heart attack or even dying. Physical pain can be really awful, and even the discomfort caused by panic attacks can be hard to bear.

The stomach pain can be so bad that it feels like you are being kicked in the stomach, and the lungs can feel like they are dying from lack of air. Sometimes, nearly every part of the body can hurt or even go numb during a panic attack. The physical effects can be horrible, but sometimes the psychological ones are potentially worse. A panic attack can make you feel like you are literally losing your mind, like you will die soon, or that the world is ending.

People who have panic attacks are usually, quite understandably, so scared to have them that they are constantly on edge wondering when the next one will occur. Panic attacks do not necessarily result in lasting physical problems, but the emotional and mental effects are severe.

When some patients have a panic attack, they even feel so frightened that they may be suffering a heart attack or something even worse. The physical effects of a panic attack can truly mimic some very serious and even deadly medical issues.

Sadly, it is not uncommon for doctors in emergency rooms to act as if panic attacks are not a big problem, and send the patients home with no resolution for their problem. This can really make patients feel like their problem is not worthy of consideration.

Panic attacks are a major medical issue, and they must be regarded that way. While there are many ways to try temporary treatments, those methods do not result in long term elimination of panic attacks. It is really important that every effort is made to totally stop panic attacks, not to just do a temporary fix. Since panic attacks are really a serious issue, medical professionals and patients have got to treat them as such.
