Stress induced anxiety can build to the point of a panic attack. A person experiencing a panic attack feels nervous and afraid to the extreme point that they cannot act or think normally.
What happens during an anxiety attack? A stress induced anxiety or panic attack might be viewed as an overwhelming feeling of fear or nervousness that makes it nearly impossible to think or behave normally.
When the brain gives that danger signal to the body, the organs must prepare for exertion: to fight or to run. The heart begins racing to pump extra blood to the organs for the emergency. Suddenly the eyes are on alert -- the hearing is keener -- muscles tense and tighten. Every body part is calling for extra energy.
When the brain signals the body is in danger the heart races providing emergency blood to the other organs: The eyes are on alert, the muscles tighten and tense, hearing is keener --- literally every part of your body is called on for greater energy.
Normally periods of danger are relatively short. However, with stress induced anxiety, the brain keeps the body on full alert. All the work that goes into maintaining that high level makes it impossible to sustain it.
Stress induced anxiety, leading to panic, can have dangerous results:
* Rising and falling blood pressure * Accelerated heart beat * It becomes hard to breathe normally * The body feels cold * Nervousness and shaking
Stress induced anxiety plays dangerously with the body. It is no wonder that common heart problems very often are referred to as stress heart problems. Now you can see why!
When you understand the mixed signals sent to your heart, and the rest of your organs, it is easy to understand why stress causes heart disease. - 15255
