This is Your Brain on Adrenaline
Everyone has heard about the tiny woman that lifted a car off of her loved one, or the man that ran in front of a speeding car to save a child from certain harm— that is the awesome power of adrenaline. In evolution, adrenaline was provided by your body to run away quickly from a dangerous situation. When the brain “thinks” anxiety, the body responds with “danger,” and your adrenal glands pump you up with adrenaline. The more panicked you become, the more adrenaline is released into the body, and the disturbing feelings of impending doom become more severe. The job of adrenaline is to provide you with a way to escape danger, even if you don't know what that danger may be. Follow these steps to help stop your panic attack.
I Hear a Buzzing Sound in My Ears
When you’re hearing that distracting “buzzing” sound in the ears, your brain is reacting to increased adrenaline to the brain and it is the result of “beta brainwave activity.” It may be disorienting and confusing as the brain is on overdrive and the thought process is overwhelmed by the “speed” effect. Your body is experiencing a natural response to adrenalin and not a physical or mental disease. Distract yourself with external sounds:
Put on soothing music (not too loud) and try earphones
Have a conversation with yourself or someone you trust
Distract yourself with a favorite movie or video
I’m Feeling "Pins and Needles" in My Arms and Hands
Normally, you breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. When your breathing is faster, you are exhaling more carbon dioxide and it makes you dizzy and induces the “pins and needles” sensations in your arms, hands, lips, or facial areas. It is not going to hurt you.
Take slow, deep breaths into a paper bag or cupped hands to restore your carbon dioxide levels and these strange sensations will cease and you will feel better within minutes.
Distract Your Nervous System with Hot Water
Heart is Pounding in My Chest
Adrenaline is speeding up your nervous system and heart rate to provide you with the extreme energy to “run!” In modern society, people rarely run from anxiety producing situations. You can’t run away from your angry boss or the fear of your checking account being overdrawn. Stress in modern times does not always benefit from the “flight or fight” response of adrenaline, and you may interpret the natural disturbances as “impending doom.” The pounding heart in your chest is no different than playing tennis or running a race. Your heart is designed to accommodate the oxygen supply your body demands with ease, and the adrenaline is making your heart beat faster so you can escape an undesirable situation.
Place both hands in a sink full of water as hot as you can stand it (not too hot). Or, place ice cubes on your forehead, or the back of your neck or face. This will distract your nervous system and stop the flow of adrenaline.
Can I Die from a Panic Attack?
People who experience a panic attack often identify the symptoms as a heart attack. In reality, the signs and symptoms are actually completely different and not related. Heart palpitations are not symptoms of a heart attack. The vague feelings and tightness in your chest are due to the increased supply of adrenaline “speed” and not a malady. Your healthy heart is equipped to beat fast and pound as if you were jogging for exercise, were “surprised” with a birthday party or you were just notified that you won the lottery.
Sit down and place your head between your knees and breathe slowly. This will slow the heart rate and relax the chest muscles
