Panic Attack Symptoms that are Easily Mistaken
Posted by: · Commentsin Categories : Anxiety & Panic Attacks
Panic attacks are frightening enough for the sufferer but the problem is compounded by the fact that the symptoms are not easy to explain. When a panic attack strikes, the individual experiences intense fear and a sense of losing control. These symptoms seem to defy a plausible explanation. They also wonder if the intense physical symptoms they feel mean some life-threatening event.
Common symptoms of panic attacks
- Heart Attack
Many people think their panic symptoms are really a heart attack. There are differences between the two in symptoms as well as diagnosis. Panic attacks can happen at any time, very often during rest, and include the feeling of impending doom, terror, and loss of control whereas heart attacks may be more related to exertion and exercise. Any chest pain or discomfort may diminish as you slow down your physical effort. A heart attack leaves a physical footprint on EKGs and panic attacks don’t, other than perhaps a fast heart rate.A panic attack may cause an increased heart rate, but not to a dangerous level. In fact, the rate during the episode is actually less than with vigorous physical exercise.

Posted by: · Commentsin Categories : Alternative Therapies, Exercise & Fitness
Tai chi chuan or Tai Chi as it is called in the West is an internal Chinese martial art often practiced for better and emotional well-being. The literal translation is “Supreme Ultimate Fist” and is considered a soft style martial art — an art applied with internal power — to distinguish its theory and application from that of the hard martial art styles.
Tai Chi utilizes slow, consistent and flowing movements to stretch and strengthen various muscles of the body. Medical studies support its effectiveness as an alternative exercise and a form of martial arts therapy to promote an overall sense of well-being.
The practice of tai chi chuan primarily involves three aspects:
- Health: Tai Chi concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind
- Meditation: The meditative aspect of Tai Chi is seen as necessary in maintaining optimum emotional well-being
- Martial art: The ability to use Tai Chi as a form of self-defense in combat is the test of a student’s understanding of the art

Here’s the real scary part…high blood pressure can quietly damage these vital organs for years before you see any symptoms. If left unchecked, this silent killer can leave you with a permanent disability. Or worse, it can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
Your heart, brain, eyes, and kidneys all depend on blood flow for life-giving nutrients and oxygen. When you have high blood pressure, the lining of your arteries can be damaged and obstruct the smooth flow of blood.
The increased pressure can harden the walls of the arteries and can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), heart disease, and stroke. The constant pressure can also cause a section of the arterial wall to enlarge, causing an aneurysm in the aorta or brain. Read More→
