First Aid tip of the month
What is Mental Health?
It is the state of our emotional, psychological, and social well-being, affecting how we think, feel, act, and handle stress.
We are going to be looking at panic attacks; these start suddenly and make a person feel very anxious or afraid. The person may also have chest pain or feel sick, and need you to stay with them and reassure them until they feel better. If you think it could be something more serious, like a heart attack, call for an ambulance.
What to look for
-
Very strong or uneven heartbeat
The person’s heart might be beating unusually hard or fast.
-
Sweating
The person feels hot and sweaty.
-
Trembling or shaking
The person might have the shakes.
-
Shortness of breath
They might be finding it hard to breathe.
-
Chest pain or discomfort
They might have an ache or pain in their chest.
-
Stomachache or nausea
They might have a sore tummy or feel sick.
-
Feeling faint or unsteady
They might feel dizzy or like they’re going to fall over.
-
Feeling detached
They might feel like things aren’t real.
-
Fears of losing control
Feeling like they can’t control what’s happening to them.
-
Fear of dying
Worrying that this feeling means they’re going to die.
-
Numbness or tingling
Pins and needles or not being able to feel a part of their body.
-
Chills or hot flushes
Feeling suddenly very hot or very cold.
How you can help
-
Calm and reassure
Ask the person if they know what is happening and if they’ve ever had a panic attack before.
-
If you KNOW someone is having a panic attack:
Stay calm, speak clearly and don't rush.
Find a comfortable place for them to sit down.
Ask them what might make them feel better and do what they ask. Don’t decide for them.
Recognise that their fear is real, but also reassure them that a panic attack, although frightening, is not life-threatening.
Let them know they’re safe and that the panic attack will soon be over.
-
If you are UNSURE if it is a panic attack or something more serious like a heart attack:
Follow first aid guidelines for chest pain.
