The onsets can be triggered by a variety of circumstances. For some people it can be triggered when they drive a car or find themselves in a crowd. There are soldiers who have returned from war or people who have seen horrible things that they cannot get out of their heads. Whatever the reason may be, their reaction to certain circumstance can completely overwhelm a person.

People suffering from this issue know what happens when they suddenly feel out of control. Their heartbeat starts to race and they can have difficulty breathing. Their thoughts are filled with terror and they can have a hard time thinking. Everything around them is filled with turmoil.

Certain medications that have been used to treat these symptoms. Many of them are very popular and used by a lot of people. The drawback to some of them is that they cause withdrawal symptoms when one stops taking them. They can even cause seizures and cardiac arrest. Some people have even died when they have stopped taking the medication too quickly.

These sufferers are seeking ways to understand why they react to certain situations like they do. There have been a few who have found success in learning how to relax and release the tensions inside them.
