Helping Your Friend Or Family Member Deal With Panic Attacks At NightIf you live with somebody who is suffering from panic attacks at night, you should learn to deal with the situation and help that person come to terms with his or her fears. Always remember that with the support of family members and friends, people who often suffer panic attacks at night can recover from their ailments. Understanding The Symptoms Panic attacks at night often happen when the person is asleep or just about to fall asleep. Since panic attacks at night often occur without warning, when the person is really in no real danger of anything, you should always be prepared to recognize the first signs of panic attacks in your friend or family member. Some of the common symptoms of panic attack at night are shortness of breath, chest pain, choking feeling, fainting, sweating, hot flashes, trembling or shaking, abdominal distress, nausea, numbness, racing heart or palpitations and others. Since these signs and symptoms are often associated with other types of ailments, you should make sure that your friend or family member is not suffering from a more serious ailment. To do this, you need to observe your friend or family member closely. Make sure that at least four of the signs and symptoms described above are present before you conclude that your friend or family member is merely suffering from a panic attack. However, if your friend or family member has no history of panic attacks, call the ambulance. Dealing When a friend or family member suffers panic attack at night, it can be really frustrating. Remember that your friend or family member is not really in the mortal danger they think they are in. Try to stay calm. If your friend or family member is taking medications for panic attacks, give him or her medication when appropriate. Be considerate and never force your friend or family member to directly confront his or her fears. And make sure your friend or family member is under a doctor's care for panic attacks. |
