Health and Happiness
Over on Dr Mani’s blog he is talking about how to be happy, and there is absolutely no doubt that health and happiness are related. Being unhappy is definitely bad for your health, it can lead to all kinds of serious health issues including depression and at the worst suicide.
One way to stay happy is by adopting a positive mental attitude, or PMA. Being miserable only makes matters worse, which is why we have the saying ‘misery loves company’.
Have you ever been to the cancer department of a hospital? You might expect people there to be depressed, but they aren’t. They are cheerful and optimistic because they know that being happy and focusing on the positives is the best way to fight illness.
Don’t worry. Be Happy!
Anxiety Attack Symptoms and Treatment
Imagine that you’re sitting at home, or at a desk in the office, when completely out of the blue your chest suddenly tightens up causing you severe pain, you have trouble catching your breath, and your palms start to sweat. Immediately your mind goes into overdrive and you fear the worst, thinking to yourself “am having a heart attack?”.
If you’ve experienced these symptoms and you weren’t having a heart attack, you’re probably already aware of what an anxiety attack is.
Anxiety attacks are periods of extreme worry and panic that manifest themselves physically. They can come on slowly or be triggered by a specific event. There are a number of common symptoms associated with panic or anxiety attacks which include shortness of breath, pain or tightness in the chest, shaking, dizziness, a pounding in the chest, nausea and vomiting, and hot or cold flashes. Many people who are experiencing a panic attack believe they are having a physical problem or that they are simply going crazy.
