Panic Attack While Driving | What are the Common Causes of Having a Panic Attack While Driving?




Panic Attack While Driving
Panic attacks are actually quite common for some people while they are driving.
Even though panic attacks may make you feel like it's the end of the world, you are generally safe.
If it becomes too overwhelming, pull your car off the road until you calm down and you feel fully in control of your emotional state.
There are many factors that can cause someone to experience a panic attack while driving.
Some of these include:
- Thinking About Getting a Panic Attack
Ironically, just thinking about a panic attack can bring one on.
It's a catch-22 of sorts regarding panic disorders.
If you've had a few attacks while driving in the past, it's very easy to think you will get more.
Unfortunately, it's your fear itself that will likely induce another attack.
- Overall Stress
A certain level of stress is only natural when driving.
However, the more stress you feel increases your chances of getting a full-blown panic attack.
- Physical Pain and Stress
Generally speaking, driving can produce various pains and/or sensations that could possibly trigger a panic attack.
People who suffer from panic disorders are extremely sensitive to how their body feels.
- Hyperventilating While Driving
Several factors may cause you to hyperventilate at the wheel.
Experiencing fear, the position you're sitting in, or even an irritating seatbelt may all contribute to hyperventilating.
For those people who endure panic attacks often, hyperventilation is both a symptom of panic disorder and the cause.
As a result, if you hyperventilate while driving for any reason at all, the chance of getting a panic attack goes up.
You can discover an easy step by step program to overcome panic attacks while driving.

BT Daily: Panic Attack




[Steve Myers] What do you worry about? The
other day I was reading an article and it
spoke about anxiety disorders. And it said
that they are the most common mental illness
in the United States today. Panic attacks
-- stress episodes that are so intense, or
intense fear -- these kinds of anxiety attacks
are feelings that weigh people down, and they
have the sense that maybe something terrible
is about to happen. So we're not talking just
about being stressful, or being nervous, or
something like that, but this is something
that's very serious -- and so serious that
it's becoming a bigger and bigger problem.
In fact, if you can think back a few years
ago, you may have never even heard of an anxiety
attack or a panic attack. And yet today it
is prevalent. What do you do about it?
Well, certainly one thing we can do is look
to God's word. We can control the panic that
sometimes overtakes us, especially if we can
change our perspective. Peter talked about
that in 1 Peter 5:7. It says, andquot;Cast all your
anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.andquot;
Or some translations say, andquot;Cast your cares
on Himandquot; or your worries, another translation
says. In fact, one translation even says andquot;Cast
your busyness on Himandquot;. So maybe we're not
having a panic attack but maybe we are so
busy that we've got to put that on Him. In
fact, it means to throw it on Him, or give
it over to Him, or turn it over to God. And
not just some of the panic, not just some
of the worry, not just some of the troubles
or the cares -- Peter says all. Put it all
on God. Pray to God. Develop that relationship
with God so that you can talk to Him about
everything and anything and all of those things.
Because Peter's reminding us there is hope.
There's hope. We don't have to carry that
burden or that fear or anxiety or panic all
of ourselves.
In fact, Paul wrote to the Philippians a similar
type of thought in chapter 4, beginning in
verse 6. He says, andquot;Don't worry about anythingandquot;
-- boy, there's a job that we have to work
at. But the New Living Translation says just
that -- andquot;Don't worry about anything. Instead,
pray about everything.andquot; And isn't that at
least a vital first step that we can take
to be able to overcome anxiety? He goes on
to say in verse 7, andquot;Tell God what you need.
Thank Him for all He's done. Then you will
experience God's peace, which exceeds anything
we can understand. His peace will guard your
hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesusandquot;
(Philippians 4:6-7).
You see, so instead of allowing the panic
or the anxiety, the worries or troubles to
pierce through and overwhelm you, Paul reminds
us that peace can guard us and protect us
and stand watch over us because we have this
close relationship with God. So let's do that
very thing. Let's go to God. Let's cast all
the anxiety and the worries and the troubles
on Him, and He says He'll grant us peace -- a
peace that surpasses understanding.
That's BT Daily. We'll see you next time.
