What happens when you have a panic attack?

A panic attack is a sudden and dramatic onset of intense fear or discomfort that can last up to 20 minutes. It is characterized by a racing heartbeat, feeling faint, sweating, nausea, chest pain, shortness of breath, trembling, tingling fingers, chills, shaking limbs, a choking sensation, dizziness, and a feeling of dread or fear of dying. The cause of panic attack disorder is a malfunction in communication between the body and the mind, and while it is commonly thought to be triggered by specific events or emotions, the scientific community currently understands that it is linked to slight changes in cardio-respiratory parameters. Additionally, people with asthma tend to be more prone to panic attacks and may have a markedly irregular breathing pattern between attacks.

It's important to remember that these thoughts and feelings are normal and are a normal part of the recovery process after a panic attack. It can be helpful to talk to a therapist or counselor who can help you work through these thoughts and feelings and develop coping strategies to manage them. I felt useful to focus on self-care and relaxation techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness, which helped me to reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being.
