Panic Attack

A panic attack is an abrupt and intense episode of fear, often with a sense of impending doom, that triggers severe physical reactions like a racing heartbeat, shortness of breath, or nausea, even when there is no apparent danger or cause. These episodes can be highly distressing. During a panic attack, you might feel as though you're losing control, experiencing a heart attack, or facing imminent death. While panic attacks themselves aren't life-threatening, they can be profoundly unsettling and significantly impact your overall quality of life.
