What is Panic Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

A panic attack is an intense wave of fear well-spotted by its unexpectedness and debilitating, immobilizing intensity. Panic attacks often strike out of the blue, without any warning, and sometimes with no clear trigger. They may even occur when you’re relaxed or asleep. It can be a one-time occurrence but this can also not be denied that many people have the repeated attacks of panic disorder. Recurrent panic attacks are often triggered by a specific situation, such as crossing a bridge or speaking in public especially if that situation has caused a panic attack before. Usually, the panic-inducing situation is one in which you feel endangered and unable to escape, triggering the body\u2019s fight-or-flight response.<\/p>\n

You may experience one or more panic attacks, yet be otherwise perfectly happy and healthy. Or your panic attacks may occur as part of another disorder, such as panic disorder, social phobia, or depression. Regardless of the cause, panic attacks are treatable. There are strategies you can use to cope with the symptoms as well as effective treatments.<\/p>\n

Signs and Symptoms of Panic Attack<\/strong><\/p>\n

The signs and symptoms of a panic attack develop abruptly and take not more than 10 minutes to reach to the peak. They rarely last more than an hour, with most ending within 20 to 30 minutes. The attack can happen anywhere and at any time. You may have one while you\u2019re in a store shopping, walking down the street, driving in your car, or even sitting on the couch at home.<\/p>\n
