Before we can even determine the nature of overcoming panic attacks we must firstly try to fully comprehend the meaning of the term panic attack and further to this the actual symptoms of the condition. The symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks are somewhat unclear and they do not appear to be initiated by the panic. We should clear this in our mind that anxiety is neither a clinical disorder nor a disease; it is the change of behaviour. The entirety of the associated symptoms of the panic attacks come from the stimulation of anxious nerve signals that are produced by the brain. The symptoms of panic attacks are quite normal and without any damage. These symptoms are not toxic, but they are not nice. As we react differently in a response to the same stimulus, so the symptoms of the panic attack vary from person to person. The symptoms of a panic attack can be associated with chest pain, light headiness, excessive sweating, rapid heart beat, abdominal unease and shortness of breath. Overcoming panic attack is elementary because there are some very helpful techniques, but overcoming the cause the panic or anxiety attack is a different issue. Panic attacks are caused by the autonomic nervous system which controls the sub conscious activities like breathing, digestion and circulation. The particular area in the autonomic nervous system is called amygdale which is responsible for decision making and regarding the things about anxiety. During panic attacks the amygdale remains turned on and it needs to be turned off to enable the person in controlling the panic attack because if amygdale remains stuck, it is responsible for the onset panic attack. The targeted objective in the treatment should be to reduce fear and to eradicate panic attacks and to cease the applications of those medicines that are used by the people to perform the regular activities. A medicine which in important in this regard is buspirone. It is chosen above the benzodiazepines due to the fact that it has minor side effects. Another important drug which is used in the prevention of panic attack is barbiturates which has barbital and Phenobarbital etc. But side effects are also there for example respiratory depression and cardiovascular depression. So we can say that anxiety and panic attacks can be lessened by the use of anxiolytic drugs, but these ought to be used with particular care because nearly all the anti anxiety drugs cause dependence and have side effects in their own way
