Those who can control their emotions after a period of self-regulation, their physical and psychological symptoms can be eased or disappeared. However, if they can not control their emotions, this psychology will gradually develop into “anxiety neurosis”, or “anxiety disorders”. Therefore, more and more people are wondering the tips to prevent anxiety.
Anxiety clinically can be divided into two types: acute anxiety and chronic anxiety.
Acute anxiety disorder: a sudden onset, the patient has an unbearable feeling of inner tension, fear or discomfort; it seems that there is an approaching disaster driving you crazy. At the same time, the patient will have an unwell feeling, heart ache, chest pain, or throat blockage, and by opening the window and playing outdoor they can breath better. In this state, over-breathing can produce symptoms of respiratory alkalosis, such as hands and feet numbness, dizziness, muscle spasm or gastrointestinal symptoms, fever, a cold sweat.
Exercise-induced anxiety has the same degree of anxiety, patients often disturb in the indoor and outdoor walking about, hands do some meaningless tricks, without noticing anything in the surrounding environment. Sustainable acute anxiety attacks always last about a few hours or a few minutes. This kind of attacks often automatically terminates and after the attack all return to normal. In severe cases, these anxiety attacks could last a few days or weeks that patients could hardly take care of themselves.
Chronic anxiety disorders: this kind of anxiety attacks often sustained for a longer period of time, patients often tense all day, upset, disturbed by sitting and lying, and lose interests in things, worried too much about their health, can not concentrate very well.

Panic Attacks Dizziness - Facts and Myths Unveiled
Posted by anxiouswill in Prescription Anxiety Drugs on December 04th, 2009
Suddenly, you start feeling light-headed, woozy or dizzy. The world starts spinning around you and fear that you might actually faint or pass out any moment. This panic attack dizziness makes you feel like you walking on an unstable boat, the floor is moving up and down and it’s difficult to keep your balance.
Dizziness is one of the most common symptoms a panic attack sufferer can get, along with other worrying symptoms such as hyperventilation, chest pains, numbness, etc.
This feeling of dizziness can be very worrying and frightening as you feel that you are going to pass out any second. Coupled with a few other symptoms such as blurry vision and numbness, you will panic even more as you become more convinced that you are really going to faint. Furthermore, this feeling of dizziness can linger on for hours after the panic attack has stopped.
One of the widely believed myths of panic attacks is that you will faint due to this dizzy feeling. This is false as it rarely ever happens to most panic attack sufferers. In reality, only a handful of people who cannot control their hyperventilation may faint. If you have not fainted before by the time you read this, it is extremely likely that you will not faint.
You need to understand that this dizzy sensation is caused by hyperventilation, or over breathing. Breathing faster than needed will disrupt the oxygen and carbon dioxide balance in your body. Without sufficient carbon dioxide, you arteries will constrict and this will restrict blood flow, especially to the brain. Under such condition, the brain will not receive sufficient blood and oxygen and this will cause you to feel dizzy.
One simple counter-measure is to steady your breathing and relax yourself. Find a quiet place to sit down and concentrate on calming yourself down. The more you panic, the worse you will feel. As with most other symptoms, with sufficient rest and time, they will fade and eventually disappear.
