I am not sure but:
When i have an anxiety attack i start trembling
When I have a panic attack i feel like i am going to die.
Is there any difference or are they both the same?

Hi, it is the anxiety that brings on the panic attack. You cannot have a panic attack when you are calm.
people come into my new age shop with problems such as this every day. The panic attack is a release of the build up of anxiety or Adrenaline in the body. When the anxiety gets too much it has to have somewhere to go. Its a bit like if you keep shaking a bottle of fizzy drink it fizzes up and then rises to the top and fizzes over. Your panic attack is that fizzing over!
Here is an example of why we get anxiety and panic attacks
This is the adrenaline pumping around the body. As it pumps it gives us that surge of energy we need to react and get away from the animal. It is called fight or flight, when we get this surge of adrenaline we can either stand and fight the animal or run! ~Whichever, the adrenaline has given us that power surge to do it.
Say, a wild animal is chasing us. as soon as we realise this we are fearful and our hearts start beating fast. we feel short of breath, our body may tingle etc, of course you’d be running so fast you wouldn’t be aware of any of this
Of course you can’t always run for your life OR fight, and so that surge of nervous energy is left there with nowhere to go, and THAT’S when you feel this dreadful anxiety, nervousness, fear and PANIC.
I suggest you get a calming crystal to carry with you, a GREEN AVENTURINE crystal or TREE AGATE. These are very soothing stones and there is a very pretty crystal called KUNZITE that is excellent in alleviating panic attacks.
Try lavender in the your room which is always soothing, burn it in an oil burner so that the room is FILLED with the soothing smell of lavender which is both good for alleviating anxiety, as well as sleep. And think of this anxiety as a tunnel you are going through. The tunnel is dark but there is light at the end, and you will soon reach the light, believe me, you will
) There is also lots of soothing music and sleep CDs to get you in to a relaxed state. You can get CDs to help with fears and panic attacks. With some the speaker takes you through a soothing garden, or to meet your guardian angel etc. These are Very soothing and of course the more calm you are the less fearful you will be. Take care and I hope you feel better very soon. Kind regards, Gillian
