Besides the situations reasons mentioned at latest posts, researchers are unsure about the exact reason for panic attacks. In many ways it’s just our bodies designed to do what they should, but in our modern world our bodies do not have the same required need to run out or stress, being chased by a saber toothed tiger who wants his dinner.Our natural defense system against stress is our flight and fight response which is one of our most basic and primitive action and also one of our most powerful. It’s meant to be powerful as it’s meant to protect us from moving buses, falling trees and anything else that may come between us and life. This flight of fight response speeds up your heart, pumping adrenaline into your blood to get you ready to run for your life.
Our poor bodies have not evolved as fast as our world, so while our brain is telling us to run, our bodies stall nice and still, or sitting quietly somewhere.
The fight or flight response is meant to help you either stand and cope with the danger, or run away from it.
It’s normal and it’s natural. What makes a panic attack difference is there is no danger- it’s just the expectation or preemptive possibility of danger that’s triggering it.
While some panic attacks can be attributed to a family history of panic attacks, or to a psychological disorder, they can also occur with no clear reason.
