Panic Attacks Therapy and Questions to Expect From Your doctor

Maybe  you have tried, unsuccessfully to stop your panics by experimenting with assorted treatments, tip or tricks.  It could be time to see a professional, and if you plan to do so, arm yourself with some knowledge about what you can expect during those first few visits.

This is a time when your journal, if you've kept one, can be very helpful in answering questions on forms that pertain specifically to your attacks.  You will need to riposte a lot of questions, and to provide a great deal of facts to your doctor, so try to do so as accurately as you can.  The following is a list of some of the facts you can expect to have to provide.

Hard Drive

What sorts of surgeries and illnesses have you had in the past?  Try to be as literal, as you can on the dates, even if it is hard to remember.

Provide facts on any traumatic events that you have lived through, and that continue to make you uneasy when you think about them.  Traumatic events can comprise divorce or a breakup, the passing of a loved one, living straight through a natural disaster, or even going away to college or your children spicy out on their own.

Providing an literal, list of medications (and the dosage for each) that you are taking, or have taken over the last six months or so is going to be very important.

Information on whether whatever in your house has panic or anxiety attacks (or whether they suffered from them in the past) is something your physician will also need to know.

A thoroughly honest riposte is going to be required linked to any questions your physician asks you about your alcohol consumption on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, as alcohol is a proven trigger for attacks.

As with the questions linked to alcohol consumption, be prepared to provide honest answers with regard to whether you use recreational drugs, because, again, some of these may nothing else but trigger attacks.

You will need to provide facts on your daily caffeine intake from coffee, tea or soda, as well as to present issues you  may touch when you don't get your caffeine, such as sluggishness or headaches.

You will need to present how you know a panic assault is coming and how often you feel stressed or anxious, and this is another set of questions that your journal can help you answer.

Your triggers will be a topic of consulation as well, so be prepared to tell your physician if you have heart palpitations when you have to drive, or start sweating profusely when an elevator goes past the third floor, for example.

The goal is to be as literal, an honest in your answers, and where you have forgotten things during your first visit, be prepared to let your physician know when you go back.
