Panic attacks

Panic attacks are a debilitating and overwhelming feeling of fear and anxiety.

You may struggle to breathe and feel as if your heart is about to explode. It’s not unusual to experience pounding in your head and tingling in your hands and feet. Finally, you may feel terrified that you’re dying or going crazy.

Although it may feel like it, you aren’t dying and neither are you going mad.

However, you may live in dread of having anxiety attacks which stops you doing the things you used to enjoy.

Panic attacks can occur without warning and last anything from 5 to 30 minutes.

While Medications may temporarily reduce or control the symptoms, they can’t resolve the underlying problem.
