生活最可怕的一个方面anxiety attacks is the way they mimic very serious health problems - problems that can be deadly if left untreated. Thousands of people with severe or unexpected panic attacks become hospitalized because the physical symptoms are nearly identical to other serious conditions, despite having a mental health cause. One such condition is a stroke.
对于那些遭受这些攻击之一的任何人,您需要找到一种方法来讲述焦虑和中风之间的差异,并且您需要也知道如何避免让您的恐惧增加焦虑症状的频率和严重程度。
焦虑并不总是精神
最重要的是要了解的是,焦虑不仅仅是你的想法方式。它也会影响你的感受。它可以造成导致症状的链反应如此明显,他们觉得自己患有中风。
The key thing to understand is that the symptoms can be so similar that you should still strongly consider seeing a doctor. Only a doctor can provide you with a diagnosis, and when it comes to your health there is nothing you should leave to chance.
但焦虑的症状是非常真实的,而且他们中的许多人类似于类似的冲程体验,例如:
- Difficulty thinking or formulating thoughts.
- Feeling like limbs or muscles cannot move.
- 模糊的视觉或头晕。
- Feeling faint.
- 突然的厄运感。
Those are "brain symptoms" that could occur in a stroke. There are also “heart symptoms” (such as chest pains and rapid heartbeat) that may cause someone to feel like they are having a heart attack. Heart attacks and strokes are very different, but moments of pure fear it may feel like they're one in the same.
这些症状是非常可怕的,特别是对于那些从未在以前没有焦虑发作的人。在某些情况下,出现问题后,它可能觉得症状不会立即恢复,导致许多人说服自己有一个中风。
短暂性缺血性发作(迷你行程)和焦虑
Strokes themselves are life threatening and immediate, with symptoms that require immediate medical attention. Generally if you have a full blown stroke, there is no question as to whether it's a stroke or anxiety. Strokes are deadly, sudden dangers, and if you have a full blown stroke, you'll almost certainly know.
担心是你可能患有瞬态缺血攻击或“迷你中风”。这些是立即发生的笔触,具有效果不到一个小时,然后淡化。它们通常是完全吹风的前身,但不太可能造成重大损害。他们可能会与焦虑发作混淆。
How to Tell the Difference Between Anxiety and a Mini Stroke
只有医生可以告诉你100%确定,如果你所经历的症状来自焦虑症或实际中风的脑卒中样症状。但通常有几种方法可以讲述两者之间的差异,包括:
- 快速/渐进Both panic attacks and strokes can come on somewhat rapidly, but strokes are almost always instant, while a panic attack generally peaks around 10 minutes in and then slowly fades. With a mini-stroke, the symptoms occur almost immediately. Any anxiety tends to come after. Also, transient ischemic attacks usually last a shorter amount of time.
- 其他焦虑症状中风是大脑功能的丧失。尽管他们can cause anxiety, they do not generally occur concurrently with other anxiety symptoms. If you have many other symptoms of anxiety, like shaking, a rapid heartbeat, and more - especially if these occur before the stroke-like sensations, then anxiety is far more likely.
- 麻痹One thing that anxiety rarely causes is paralysis. Anxiety can make it harder to move certain muscles, especially if you are feeling weak and hyperventilating, but in a stroke it's not uncommon to have absolutely no ability to move a muscle at all. Facial paralysis, where your face starts to "fall" and you drool or choke because you cannot move is a stroke symptom. With anxiety, even though those sensations can still occur, the ability to move or act is still generally present. Not all strokes cause paralysis, however.
- 家史Strokes are not very common in those under 55, those without a family history, and those without high blood pressure or high cholesterol. That's why seeing a doctor is still valuable even if you are positive it's anxiety.
As you can see, the differences are subtle. But they are definitely there, and if you are willing to think about the attack logically you'll often find that it's clear what occurred. However, it is critical to rule out a cerebrovascular event (stroke, TIA) first.
如何避免恐慌攻击中的健康焦虑yabo国际娱乐
Once a stroke has been ruled out, you'll need to control not just your anxiety, but also the health anxiety that often occurs when someone suffers from panic attacks that cause stroke-like symptoms.
Those with severe anxiety are rarely satisfied with a panic attack diagnosis. Because the symptoms are so similar and can have so much in common, it becomes too hard to believe that they are caused by something non-physical. There is a tendency to want to believe that the worst case scenario is possible, because if it was possible something could be done about it.
The best way to ensure that you do not start to experience severe health anxiety as a result of your attacks is to address panic attacks anyway, even if you aren't completely convinced that's the problem. If you learn to control your panic attacks, and the techniques that you attempt work, you'll find that the symptoms that were causing you such health anxiety start to fade and you are left feeling more comfortable and confident in your health.
