Panic Disorder

Panic Disorder are sometimes attributed to tobacco smoking for long continuous periods. Cigarettes once smoked release smoke into the lungs. This smoke changes the environment inside the lungs through increased tar deposits. Such a situation triggers off a chain of reactions that leaves the smoker experiencing much anxiety. Inflammation of the respiratory system may also occur thus worsening the situation.

Alcohol once ingested immediately takes effect hence also contributing to panic disorders. Alcohol is most dangerous when a patient is trying to withdraw from its consumption. Alcohol interferes with normal brain functions. In its place the patient grows increasingly restless creating room for anxiety. This state serves to perpetuate panic attacks in the absence of anxiety medications.

The management of panic attacks can be tricky due to several reasons. Continued reliance on drugs will reverse any positive gains. Consistency in using medications is a requirement that many patients may find demanding. Antidepressants and anti anxiety drugs are some of the most common interventions. However medication for panic disorders must only be taken under prescription.
