Menopause and Panic Attacks
Overview
Many women experience an increase in panic attacks during perimenopause and menopause. Common symptoms include racing heartbeats, breathing difficulties, intense energy surges, hot sensations, and tingling feelings. Discover how to manage these symptoms effectively.
Understanding the Connection
During perimenopause and menopause, hormonal imbalances may increase the likelihood of panic attacks and anxiety disorders. While these imbalances can trigger attacks, they aren’t the direct cause. Surprisingly, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) doesn’t provide long-term relief from panic symptoms.
Breathing and Panic Attacks
Women experiencing panic attacks often breathe rapidly and shallowly, using the muscles of the chest, neck, and shoulders rather than the diaphragm. This improper breathing can exacerbate the sensation of panic.
Recognizing Panic Attacks
In recent years, understanding of panic attacks has improved. The hormonal changes during menopause can trigger feelings of anxiety and panic, affecting the mind, spirit, and emotions. Symptoms may include rapid heart rate and sudden terror, often arising without warning while you're at rest.
Behavioral Changes
The unpredictability of panic attacks can lead to behavioral changes, as the fear of another attack looms large. These attacks are sudden and mimic the physical sensations of a heart attack, leading sufferers to assume the worst.
Managing Panic Attacks
Younger post-menopausal women are particularly prone to panic attacks. While it may seem simplistic, training yourself not to fear the possibility of an attack can be surprisingly effective. Remember, medication isn’t always necessary.
Try to break the cycle of fear and panic. By staying informed and prepared, you can reduce the impact of panic attacks and regain control over your life.
