Panic Attack
A panic attack is a sudden, intense episode of fear or anxiety that can cause physical and emotional symptoms. Key symptoms include racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, trembling, muscle tension, sweating, nausea, chest pain, and chills. Emotional symptoms include intense fear, feeling of impending danger, feeling out of control, and detached from oneself or reality. Triggers for panic attacks include over breathing, long periods of stress, activities causing intense physical reactions, physical changes after illness or sudden environmental changes, and phobias.
Managing panic attacks can be challenging, but techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and cognitive-behavioral therapy can help. Seeking professional help is crucial if panic attacks are interfering with daily life or causing significant distress.
