The impact on sexual performance anxiety
Unfortunately, if you suffer from sexual performance anxiety, an occurrence such as a panic attack during sex, will only add fuel to the fire. Panic attacks have their roots in a generalised anxiety disorder, and the best treatment to reduce unexpected panic attacks is the same treatment used to treat the symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Your medical practitioner might suggest that you consult a therapist who will be able to help you cope with stress and anxiety, and will also help to eliminate the fear – and risk – of another panic attack.
