The Cause of Anxiety & Panic Attacks

Your brain has a pathway called the limbic system. The limbic system controls emotions and levels of anxiety in our everyday lives. Within this limbic system is an area called the amygdala. This amygdala gland is now confirmed by the National Institute of Mental Health to be responsible for anxiety and panic attacks.  The amygdala gland is normally quiet until called upon to become active. It gets active when there is perceived threat or danger to ourselves - plays a major role in the flight or fight response. It then switches off again once the event is over.  However repeated, constant stimulation of this amygdala in times of stress, anger, sadness etc. leaves it permanently switched on. As a result over time, anxiety and panic attacks plus indeed phobias creep in on you, making you one of the 20 million people currently having this problem. Your brain is re-conditioned by virtue of this repeated stimulation of the amygdala, causing anxiety and related conditions to develop. So addressing this root cause of the problem essentially leads to a cure and it's easier than you think.

What Are The Signs of Anxiety?

To understand how the signs of anxiety or symptoms of anxiety as medics would say, you have to learn something about 2 systems in the body called sympathetic and para-sympathetic. The sympathetic system is responsible for most of the symptoms or signs that you experience during anxiety panic attack situation. When an anxiety attack is imminent, your brain gives signals to another gland called the adrenal to release, yes, you guessed it, adrenaline. Without getting too technical, the release of adrenaline triggers an immense sympathetic response which gives rise to symptoms such as: Pounding heart Racing heart rate Sweating Trembling and shaking feeling Dizziness or feeling faint Numbness and tingling sensation Fear of losing control of your breathing Chest tightness sometimes Feeling of a lump in the throat Dry mouth Flushed skin Blurred vision Confusion Heavy feeling in the stomach Muscle aches and pains All of these signs of anxiety are the direct effect of large quantities of adrenaline hormone being released and overwhelming your body systems to go into over-drive usually in preparation for flight or fight. However, because of the scary nature of these signs, we become afraid of losing control which naturally creates a sea of fear and panic.   Ordinarily, after an attack, the signs of anxiety your body is supposed to recover helped by the para-sympathetic system. The para-sympathetic system opposes the sympathetic system. The para-sympathetic restores calm.

How Do Stress and Emotions Come Into Play?

If you have been stressed for a long period, the normal resolution that occurs after an anxiety attack does not occur.   So in essence, you have higher than normal levels of circulating levels of adrenaline and other chemicals in your body at rest. With the amygdala button in the permanent "on" position, during periods of prolonged stress, anger or sadness, the stage is set for your adrenal glands to maintain higher than normal levels of adrenaline and other body chemicals longer than necessary. The net result is, this heightened state of affairs leaves your body prone to panic attacks every now and again. You tend to be on edge most times and the fear of having another anxiety attack and another perpetuates this vicious circle.

Jacks "After over 15 years of being on an anti-depressant and over 10 years of Xanax, I am finally off of them and feeling really good."  N.K. “My 15 year old daughter had been suffering from compulsive type acts and facial tics for many years.  These behaviors would come and go and seemed to increase during stressful times.  Last fall, a series of very difficult events occurred which affected my daughter greatly.  During this time her facial tick became difficult to deal with and led to constant headaches.  It was then that my daughter for the first time asked for help.  I had also noticed her slowly pulling away from her family and basically seemed sad.  Over the years I had researched treatment options for my daughter but had never come up anything that didn't have side effects and would deal with the underlying problems.  After my daughter asked for help I knew I needed to do something.  It was then that Dr. Lezlie was recommended to me.  I immediately got an appointment with Dr. Lezlie and am so thankful I did.  Dr. Lezlie addressed all the issues that were going on in my daughter's life: fatigue, anxiety, difficulty concentrating at school, weight gain, as well as the compulsive acts and tic.  Dr. Lezlie recommended several different supplements, essential oils, Bach Flower Essences and EFT.  Within 3 days, I could see a change occurring in my daughter.  My daughter who once had been the one who made us all laugh was coming back.  She was engaging with her family once again.  She has been seeing Dr. Lezlie now for about 4 months and is doing great.  Her ability to deal with stressful situations has improved tremendously.  She is sleeping like a "normal" teenager, headaches are gone, lost weight, received good grades at school and her facial tic is no longer consuming her.  I can't explain how happy I am to see my daughter doing so well.  Thank you Dr. Lezlie!” D.
