At Saber Psychiatry, we specialize in evaluating and treating anxiety. When a person experiences a panic attack, they experience an episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions that can be very scary. A person may feel like they’re losing control. Or having a heart attack. Although there is no real danger or apparent cause of the symptoms, they can affect your quality of life. The National Institute of Mental Health describes panic disorders as follows:
People with panic disorder may have:
- Sudden and repeated panic attacks of overwhelming anxiety and fear
- A feeling of being out of control, or a fear of death or impending doom during a panic attack
- An intense worry about when the next panic attack will happen
- A fear or avoidance of places where panic attacks have occurred in the past
- Physical symptoms during a panic attack, such as:
- Pounding or racing heart
- Sweating
- Chills
- Trembling
- Difficulty breathing
- Weakness or dizziness
- Tingly or numb hands
- Chest pain
- Stomach pain or nausea
Treatment for panic disorders can be very effective, so it will be important to discuss your options with your mental health care provider.
