Panic Attacks

Anxiety, unease and panic attacks are natural when faced with stressful situations – in fact, mild anxiety when facing a difficulty or danger can be helpful as it focuses your attention, makes decision-making faster and reaction-response more effective.

Excessive anxiety & panic, however, can become physically debilitating and interfere in day-to-day activities. Panic attacks are a symptom of this extreme anxiety and can occur without warning. Due to your body’s ‘fight or flight’ response, they are caused by the release of adrenaline in response to a perceived, remembered or expected threat. Effects can last for up to 10 minutes and physical symptoms include:

• dry mouth
• rapid heartbeat or palpitations
• tightness or pain in your chest
• shortness of breath
• dizziness
• difficulty swallowing
• shaking
