Palpitations, lack of air, sweating, dizziness, deja vu, fear of death or madness. All these are signs of now popular panic attacks. According to statistics, they suffer from 2 to 5% of people on earth, mainly, of course, women.
Officially, the reasons are called dysfunction of the nervous system, hormonal disorders, personal characteristics, but the neurologist of the paid polyclinic of the National Hospital Laura Kuttybaeva with more than thirty years of experience connects this with problems in the spine.
– Initially, panic attacks appear in the form of a throat coma, fear, lack of air, anxiety, people do not attach importance to this, but when attacks become more frequent, they go to therapists, gastroenterologists, pulmonologists, endocrinologists. Doctors prescribe different medications, including antidepressants, but this does not help. We first send for an X-ray of the neck or MRI, then we prescribe treatment in the form of stretching, exercises, including breathing, physiotherapy, injections to relieve spasms, that is, we act comprehensively and relief immediately occurs. I associate panic attacks with problems in the spine.
Panic attack is not a dangerous disease, sometimes it can be cured with the help of respiratory practices, but they create discomfort. As their prevention, the doctor advises to lead a healthy lifestyle, avoid stress and worries, get rid of bad habits.
