Signs of a Panic Attack

KDAH

Have you ever suddenly felt overwhelmed, like your heart is racing, your chest feels tight, and it’s hard to breathe, even when there’s no obvious reason? You might be experiencing a panic attack. These episodes are intense and can come on without warning, making you feel out of control both mentally and physically. Panic attacks are more common than many realize and can be triggered by high stress, unresolved trauma, anxiety disorders, or even certain medical conditions. While they can feel frightening, the good news is that they are treatable. Therapy, breathing techniques, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, medication can help you manage and reduce their frequency. If you’ve had these symptoms more than once, it’s important not to ignore them. Talk to a mental health professional. Help is available, and recovery is possible.
