With the unemployment rate and foreclosures at what seems to be an all time, the pressure to perform better at work is growing across different industries and the fallout can be seen in emergency rooms across the country.  “Stress is really playing a number on people’s health and we are seeing it more and more each day,” states Olivia, a registered ER nurse at a large southern California hospital. 

Olivia went on to share more.  “It is not just your old heart attack cliché, though I don’t mean to downplay that because we are still getting more that our share, but we also see people getting sicker easier and more frequently because the stress and the anxiety are playing havoc with people’s immune system.  We ask patients when we do our assessment if there has been a change in their life that would increase their stress levels.  You could actually see and feel their heart rate go up as soon as they start talking about fighting to keep their job or fighting off the bank to keep them from foreclosing on their home.  Upon discharge we always suggest taking things easier but their answers are always similar.  They tell us that they can’t in fear of being seen by their bosses as less valuable than their co-workers thus being more likely to fall into the pink slip category.”

A rise in stress certainly goes in hand in hand with a rise in full blown panic attacks.  Severe pressure or pain in the chest, shortness of breath, dizziness, tremors, jitteriness and feelings of despair are among the many symptoms that can be seen in panic attacks.  “You would panic also if you knew that your department was up for pinks slips or if you received that foreclosure notice” stated Olivia.  “But the fact is that getting sick will only cause you more problems and aggravate your situation even more, thus increasing your anxiety, compromising your health even more thus giving birth to a vicious cycle of worry and panic.”

When asked what kind of treatment patients usually receive in the ER for panic attacks she states, “Well the first thing the doctor does is to make sure that the patient really isn’t have a stroke or heart attack.  Once that is established then the doctor usually prescribes them anti-anxiety medication and orders them to rest more and follow up with their doctor.  But the truth is that we know that they aren’t really going to rest, and the medications they are given run out shortly and don’t really fix the problem.  They are meant only to bridge them until they have had a chance to see their own doctor, which most patients don’t because they are too busy trying to pay the bills.  That means those patients will be right back in the ER with worsening symptoms of stress, anxiety and severe panic attacks.”

So what does Olivia recommend to break this vicious cycle?  “I would strongly recommend investing in a good anti-anxiety program.   That is where I have seen most success.  I am not just talking about meditation or hypnosis either.  There are many programs out there that teach techniques that help you deal with anxiety and fear so that they don’t turn into an uncontrollable, life destroying monster.  I strongly would recommend one that teaches natural technique to stop panic attacks and control stress before it starts getting away with you.  Panic Away is one such program and the testimonials on it are too impressive to ignore.”

When asked if she would recommend in investing in Panic Away, Olivia emphatically stated “Have you seen the cost of visiting the emergency room?  Just to be checked in will cost most people $100.00 and that is not including the M.D’s fee, labs, tests, etc. etc. And it will definitely cost you hours of your life in the waiting room.  And that is just one visit!  Most people with panic attacks come more than once.  All of this doesn’t even account for all the suffering a person with anxiety problems goes through.  For goodness sake do you and your family a favor, if you are having anxiety and stress problems, invest in Panic Away!”
