Because several of the symptoms of an anxiety attack (also called “panic attack”) are similar to those of a heart attack, the former is often mistaken for the latter. Chest pain is not necessarily a symptom of either event, but very often is, which is why so many people suffering panic attacks end up in the emergency room.
There are different types of chest pain, but not all of them are a symptom of heart attack. Indigestion pleurisy sore muscles, injured ribs, pinched nerves, angina and gall bladder or pancreas problems can also cause chest pain. The symptoms of some of these conditions can so perfectly mimic those of a heart attack, that only a doctor can determine the cause. Others have enough significant differences that you may not need to see a doctor.
The chest pain stemming from an anxiety attack falls into the latter category. If you know the differences in the symptoms of the two, it is highly likely you can determine on your own if you are having a heart attack or chest pains associated with anxiety attack.
Location of the chest pain is a good indicator of whether you are having a heart attack or anxiety attack. Chest pain from anxiety is located over the heart and is described as “sharp.” It increases with breathing in and out, and doesn’t usually last more than a few minutes. Applying pressure to the chest also makes the pain worsen. In heart attack, chest pain is located in the center of the chest, and usually endures for longer than 10 minutes. It is not affected by pressing on the chest and breathing is usually normal unless fear of heart attack or dying triggers a panic attack, causing hyperventilation.
Chest pain from heart attack feels like the chest is being squeezed or crushed, as if by an enormous weight or pressure is on it. It is more severe and longer lasting than chest pain from anxiety attack.
Anxiety attacks can cause chest pains because when one feels threatened, adrenaline is automatically released to prepare the body for flight. Adrenaline speeds up the heart and breathing rates and causes muscles to contract. You may experience heart palpitations as well. The chest pains felt during an anxiety attack may also be caused by the release of stomach acids and indigestion.
The symptoms of anxiety attack will positively respond to panic-control techniques. Deep breathing and relaxation exercises, switching the focus of thoughts to humorous or pleasant events or ideas, doing math problems or counting can all draw your attention away from the chest pain and other symptoms of panic attack, usually within a few minutes.
Fear of heart attack that is generated by chest pains from an anxiety attack can actually make anxiety symptoms worse. Understanding how anxiety attacks and chest pain work together and knowing the differences between anxiety chest pains and those caused by heart attack can save you from even more anxiety and unnecessary trips to the emergency room.
Did you know that every 8 seconds someone in the US has a panic attack? True! And sometimes I’m one of them! How about you?
I’ve had panic attacks that have lasted 30+ minutes, and was absolutely certain I was having a heart attack! I couldn’t breathe, I had chest and neck pains, my left arm hurt, yet at the same time was numb; how weird is that?. Although I still feel the symptoms of panic attack coming on, from time to time, I’ve learned how to take control of my thoughts and reactions, and have changed my lifestyle to drastically decrease the chances of panic attack. Click Here To find out Step-By-Step how I took control of my Anxiety and Finally Ended My Panic Attacks.

Learning, Longevity & Alz
By H. Bernard Wechsler Platinum Quality Author
Americans are competitive, study scores and believe in a better future. If you lived in Andorra, (look between France and Spain), your longevity would average 83.5 years. The U.S. averages 78 years.
The U.S. spends twice as much as other industrial countries on health care yet in 2007, men average 75 and women 81 years of life expectancy.
Don’t get nervous from the service (post traumatic stress disorder), in Zambia 2007, men and women cash in their chips on average at 34 years of age.
Google: United Nations World Population Prospects, September 2007.
Life Long Learning
Let’s forget boring advice like more exercise (a zero-sum game), improve nutrition (it tastes like cardboard), and avoid stress (when we stop breathing), and hear something that Surprises Broca.
The language center of your brain (left hemisphere) is run by a partnership including Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas. They power up your facial neurons, speech production, and language processing. Comprehension (understanding all you hear and read) involves Broca, and he gets bored easily and rocks your attention span.
Wake Up, Broca
You can add up to nine years to your longevity and lower the risk of Alzheimer’s up to 40% through schooling and learning. Sure, if you get knocked down by a GM truck all bets are off, but figures don’t lie, though liars can figure.
If you Google world countries by the subsets: race, religion, urban or rural and schooling, you will discover the leading cause of long life by up to nine years is education and learning level.
If you are enjoying life (it gets better) and want to hang in, become a life-long-learner. There are specific programs to improve your eyes, integrate your left and right brain, and pump up your Orbito-Frontal Cortex. We can reveal many two-minute strategies for Pareto’s Vital 20%. Slackers need not apply.
Fluent Readers
Most of us find it inconceivable that being a fluent reader, (articulate, coherent and comprehensive) is significant to your longevity. You reading style impressed Mrs. Harrison, your 3rd grade teacher, but after decades, it’s time for improvements. According to Dr. David W. Baker, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University (Archives of Internal Medicine 7.23.07) literacy, requiring reading and some math, predicts when Atropos cuts the thread of your life.
She is one of the three Greek sisters of Fate (Moira). Clotho is the sister who spins your thread of life from cosmic causes. Lachesis measures your thread of life and processes your destiny. Finally, Atropos, the lady with the large shears, cuts the thread of life. Makes sense to me.
Scholars offer four myths to choose your true destiny: determinism, retribution, reciprocity and chance. The secular world prefers chance except in emergencies. Any port in a storm, right?
Dr. Baker’s team followed 3,260 in Chicagoland for more than 5 years. They were tested for health and literacy. Sixty percent were labeled literate and the rest not. Sure, they died of heart disease, cancer and stroke like the rest of us, but the learners lasted significantly longer. Differences approached 9 years.
How Come
More education produces statistically higher lifetime earnings; colleges graduates potentially earn twice the income of high schoolers. Graduate school (law, medicine etc) graduates can expect 2x the earnings of college folks.
Money provides better health care, safer surroundings, and better nutrition. You already know that, right?
Fluent readers exercise their brain synapses and neuronal circuitry compared to five-hour daily TV viewers. Reading uses different brain structures than watch TV, listening to music, and playing video games.
Cognitive Exercise
Longevity requires daily exercise of your brain in these four areas:
a) drawing on their long-term memories for coding and decoding.
b) experiencing logic and reason (critical thinking) through cause and effect.
c) sequencing short-term memories for information processing
d) combining creative mental imagery and association.
According to the Association of American Publishers, the average college graduate reads one (1) book annually. Does surfing the Internet and daily emails exercise your neurons enough to prolong your longevity? We suggest the road less traveled.
Dr. Baker’s researchers conclude a more powerful variable than education for examining the link between socioeconomic status and longevity, is reading fluency.
Step one: choose to devote ten additional weekly hours to reading and learning. Second, discover cognitive strategies to implement your present 3rd grade learning skills. What have you changed since Mrs. Harrison’s class?
Cognitive Reserve
Do you have the bounce-back factor for your brain? Humans require a brain resilient to the ordinary damages from pollution, trauma and stress during their lifetime. The goal is for your 3-pound coconut to maintain functioning in spite of damage from aging and low level Alzheimer’s.
Research indicates that those of us with a high cognitive-reserve (fluent readers and learners) appear to build a firewall around the brain to reduce the effects of normal aging and specific attacks.
A well-researched project in a Canadian leadplant showed low cognitive-reserve employees were affected by lead exposure 2.5 times more than those with more than 12th grade reading level.
High-cognitive reserve people (more education and learning) survived and thrived in the face of lead exposure.
Google: Dr. Margrit L. Bleecker, published in the American Academy of Neurology medical journal. 7.31.07
Endwords
Advanced reading and learning skills produce structural and functional brain modifications. It offers a permanent umbrella effect for extended longevity and a potentially reduced risk of Alzheimer.

Mental Health Services
By David McEvoy
Mental health problems are common with around 25% of the population believed to be suffering from some form of mental health problem at any point in time. Anyone suffering from a mental health problem can access proper treatment and most who do seek help will make a complete recovery but unfortunately, there are still people who are afraid of admitting that they cannot cope or that they need help and will suffer unnecessary mental distress due to lack of understanding about their illness or awareness of what help is available. So what mental health services are available to anyone suffering from mental illness?
Doctor
The first point of contact is your doctor. They will be able to make a full assessment of your symptoms and your physical and mental health in general as well as take into consideration any other factors involved including any family history of mental illness in order to make an accurate diagnosis because an accurate diagnosis is essential if the right help and assistance is to be offered. For most people, a simple visit to the doctor may be all that is required to put them on the road to recovery.
However, your doctor might feel that you could also benefit from other mental health services so once he or she has made a diagnosis they will be able to start you on a suitable treatment programme which could include medication and/or referral to other professionals or specialists in the community mental health team as required, for example, social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, various types of counsellors or therapists and so on.
The Community Mental Health Team (CMHT)
It may be that you require specialist skills in order to help you cope with your mental illness and as one person couldn't conceivably be an expert in every single area, you could be referred to someone in the community mental health team. The community mental health team will vary depending on which area that you live, some may be attached to a hospital or work from a doctors surgery and others could possibly have their own clinic in a separate building but typically, they consist of professionals such as psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses who may also be trained to deal with specific problems or behaviours, clinical psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and various other therapists and counsellors.
It is quite likely that one person will be appointed as your key worker and will be liaising with you on a regular basis and visiting you at home. This person could be a social worker, a nurse, some type of therapist or quite commonly, a community psychiatric nurse or CPN.
The CPN will assess your progress on a regular basis, will identify and help you deal with any problems you might have and put you in touch with others who can help, they will monitor your mediation and any effects of that medication and will generally offer support. They will work closely with other professionals in the team so that everyone is aware of any particular issues or challenges that need to be dealt with. The CMHT will also regularly inform your doctor about your progress, your medication and any other issues involved in your case.
It might be that you need help from other professionals. For example, an occupational therapist can help you regain some independence in your life if you are suffering from any disabilities, they can help you to do things for yourself and improve your confidence in areas such as dressing, washing and other practical skills. Social workers can help with many social problems such as housing needs, financial issues and maybe parenting or child care challenges. Basically, the Community Mental Health Team enables you to access the right kind of help from professionals who are trained in a specific area.
Hospital
It might be that you need to spend some time in hospital to get over a particularly difficult episode of mental illness or where it is considered appropriate but this decision is not taken lightly. Hospitals can offer safety and protection and many people will voluntarily admit themselves to hospital in order to get the right assistance and support. However, there are also compulsory admissions made under the Mental Health Act in order to protect the person themselves or those around them. For some people, the thought of admission to hospital can be frightening but it is important to remember that a stay in hospital can be a lifesaver and hospitals are there to help and are better equipped to deal with particularly severe cases of mental illness.
More support
Family and friends can be instrumental in helping someone who is suffering from mental health problems to progress and regain control of their lives and as such are an extremely important part of any support network. There are also numerous other agencies, support organisations, and charities offering help to people suffering from various mental health problems. Some will also tackle issues related to mental health by raising awareness in the community and others can provide information, advice and support to people who are affected by mental health problems in their family. You can ask your doctor or mental health professional what other assistance is available in your area.

Reclaim Your Mind! Are You Being Programmed?
By Janet Angel
We experience anxiety everyday as if it has become an undeniable part of our life. This is due to problems, the source of which can’t be changed. But how do we know when it's time to get help for dealing with one’s anxieties?
Anxiety is a natural reaction to real stresses of life. The “fight or flight" response of anxiety is innate to human nature which motivates us, prepares us for things we have to face, and sometimes give us energy to take action when we need to. But sometimes it doesn't take a specific threat; only the possibility of crisis puts us into anxiety mode. But, while in anxiety, do you know when it turns into a disorder i.e. anxiety disorder? Here are the symptoms;
* Troubled sleep, eating habit, and concentration
* Headaches
* Upset stomach
* Panic attack
Dealing With Anxiety
The best way to cope with anxiety is to get the real picture of a particular situation. Your imagination will try its best to make it worst by separating the real risks and dangers a situation might present. When you know you are in a think soup, ask yourself, “Can I take control of this situation? Where I should make changes?” Next step is to do what needs to be done and accept where there is no other way out.
Normally, a close friend or a family member can help you come out of a certain anxiety cycle by sharing your problems and your anxious thoughts and fears. When no normal solutions work, then you should take the help of a psychological therapist or a medical practitioner who could prescribe you anti-anxiety medication like Xanax. But you should buy xanax only when it has been prescribed, do not order xanax or use it for any other reason else you would do nothing but destroy your life at hands of these anxiety treating pills.
Learn to handle negative thoughts
You need to identify the way you think about a particular situation. Are they positive or negative? For that, ask yourself if you are thinking productively to reach your ultimate goal? If it's just a negative thought ask yourself to Stop. When you are done with every possible way to help that situation, then it’s the time for you to move forward.
Relax
This is called the Art of Living. If you know how to relax, you are almost done with your anxiety. The best way to relax is to breathe properly. It has been found that as people get anxious, they tend to hold their breath. So, a breathing retraining may help you to control your anxiety. Practice yoga, meditation. Become physically more active, get some real good exercise; you know exercise is an excellent way to channel anxiety.
It’s tough but not impossible to take control of our anxiety. Try these tips to cope up with anxiety disorder, you will soon find that fear and anxiety are no longer part of your life. That time you may not have to pop up anti-anxiety pills at all!
The author, Sera Redmonds, addresses mental health related issues and anti-anxiety pills like xanax.
