What to do if you feel panic

Psychological reactions such as panic are very normal and are also a common symptom in clinical practice. If it is just simple palpitations, it will not have any impact on our physical health. However, if excessive palpitations occur frequently in daily life, it is very likely to cause some diseases. Simple palpitations are usually symptoms of arrhythmia. For some common sense about panic and what to do when you feel panic, please see the following introduction.

There are many reasons that can cause palpitations. It may be caused by the rhythm and frequency of heart activity. Some palpitations are physiological, while others are pathological. For example, we may experience palpitations after strenuous exercise, smoking, or drinking a lot. So what should we do when we feel palpitations?

Patients of different age groups should be treated differently when they experience palpitations. Young or middle-aged people often feel anxious, have trembling hands, sweat, lose temper, get hungry easily and eat a lot for no reason, but they are obviously thin and afraid of heat. This often indicates that they may have hyperthyroidism, and the symptoms are all caused by increased basal metabolism. If the palpitations are accompanied by decreased urine volume and edema in both lower limbs, and in severe cases the edema may spread throughout the body, and you cannot lie flat at night and feel shortness of breath when you lie down, and often feel bloating and pain in the lower abdomen and right upper abdomen, and have a loss of appetite, then this may be heart failure. You often feel anxious, accompanied by heart pain, dizziness, insomnia, nightmares, forgetfulness, etc. If your blood pressure is normal when measured, it may be caused by neurasthenia or autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

When palpitations occur, take a deep breath and hold your breath for 1-2 seconds, then exhale slowly to slow down your heartbeat. It stimulates the throat, produces a gagging reaction, and can also slow down the heart rate. For some patients, simple emotional control and psychological suggestion are ineffective, and panic attacks still occur frequently.
