According to researcehs, one of the things that may play a strong role in determining who will have panic attacks is inheritance. However, there are many people who have no family history of the disorder and they have still developed it. I know for sure that neighter my parents, nor my grandparents were ever suffering from panc attacks, but I have still developed it.
Another cause with great role and influence is the environment. If the envorinment –parents, family, friends – is suggesting a very cautious view of the world, especially if the individual is disposed to stress, panic attacks could develop like out of nowhere.
There are also so-called short term causes which can work as a trigger of panic attacks. The unexpected loss of a loved person, a major change in one’s life are common short-term causes. Different stimulants like nicotine, coffeine or any type of drugs, including marijuana and pills can also act as triggers of the disorder.
A deficiency of Vitamin B -vital to the nervous system function-, which can accure from inadequate diet, can also be a cause of anxiety attacks. If your diet doesn’t contain sufficient quantity of the B Vitamins, you can use a vitamin complex from the pharmacies.
Different types of phobias will often lead to panic attack experiences when the individual is exposed to the phobic object.
After the individual has experienced a panic attack, he or she will most likely try to avoid situations which could provoke panic. The „what if” thinking begins (which I also have experienced), which is only maintaining the disorder. This is called a maintaining cause.
Panic attack sufferers also change the art of communication with others. They will most likely engage a passive style, which will also contribute to the maintaining of disorder, so this is also a maintaining cause.
Some types of medication such as antidepressants, but also stimulatns can cause increased panic attacks. Nearly the entire SSRI class can cause attacks, that’s why they are prescribed only for especial conditions and only for short term. You can read more about the SSRIs here.
The withdrawal of different substances like medication, drugs or alcohol can also cause panic disorder, the alcohol withdrawal causing most frequently the disorder.
Chronic heart problems may also cause panic attacks. Because panic attacks can trigger the arrythmic beat of the heart, panic attacks could increase the number of arrythmia. It also can be difficult to differenciate between panic attack symptoms and cardiac dysfuntion symptoms.
