The Calm Before The Storm

A lot of you probably saw the movie “Speed”. Do you remember the earliest scenes? An elevator full of people were held “hostage” because a bomb had been planted in the elevator. I don’ recall exactly what the elevator passengers’ reactions were, but if I were there I would probably have a panic attack. As a child, I would often wonder why do people have panic attacks.

There is no definite answer to why do people have panic attacks. It could be hereditary. If you have a parent or a grandparent who suffered from panic attacks, you could suffer one too. Another cause of panic attacks is repeated anxiety attacks. Heightened anxiety attacks could lead to panic attacks. It is therefore important to minimize stress and avoid factors, people and situations that could cause one severe anxiety. It is best to remain calm as much as you can, this way it could delay any an anxiety attack and even prevent a panic attack.
