Causes of The Initial Panic Attack

October 2nd, 2008 by admin

Initial panic attacks may occur when people are under considerable stress, from an overload of work, for example, or from the loss of a family member or close friend. The attacks may also follow surgery, a serious accident, illness, or childbirth. Excessive consumption of caffeine or use of cocaine or other stimulant drugs or medicines, such as the stimulants used in treating asthma, can also trigger a panic attack.  After the initial one, there might still be another episode which may caused either similar or different factors.
