Causes Of Anxiety Attacks
By: Gary M. Miller

Anxiety attacks can be caused a multitude of things including stressors, financial problems, relationship problems, bereavement, medical conditions and medication. However, as with any medical condition, there is usually more than one cause, some of which can be interrelated.



When a doctor is trying to determine the causes of a patient’s anxiety attacks, he will assess environmental issues, traits in the person’s personality, the patient’s brain chemistry, any past traumas and the family medical history. Firstly, the environmental issues may include poverty, childhood/parental separation, overly strict parents, overly critical parents, excessive family conflicts, fearful parents, anxious parents and a lacking support system. Secondly, personality traits can include a feeling of lack of power, seeing the world as threatening, general low self-esteem/confidence and the inability to cope with everyday things. Thirdly, brain chemistry can include neurotransmitter imbalances (serotonin, epinephrine, GABA, etc.) and abnormal levels of cortisol (stress type hormone). Fourthly, family medical history can show a pattern of abuse (substance) and disorders (mood, anxiety, etc.) throughout generations, which shows some genetical disposition towards the anxiety attacks. Fifthly, past traumas can have a marked affect, including childhood events (the most damaging), abuse, natural disasters, crime, and war.



Once the cause has been determined for the anxiety attacks, the doctor will attempt to make a diagnosis. However, if the fifth most common causes are not triggering the anxiety attacks then the doctor will look at these other possibilities:



· Hypoglycemia – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions



· Thyroid disorders – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions

· Chronic headaches – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions



· Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions



· Prolapsed of the mitral valve – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions



· Chronic fatigue syndrome – can trigger anxiety attacks under certain medical conditions



As with any condition, anxiety attacks have causes and triggers. You may only have suffered from one cause or as with many people, had the burden of many. However, the only way to resolve anxiety attacks is to seek medical help and get treated. Anxiety attacks are not a mental health issue, but could become so if you leave it to fester. Talk to the one person you can trust and do not be ashamed as you are definitely not alone.
