Overcoming panic attacks
Panic attacks can feel overwhelming, often coming on suddenly and leaving you drained. The experience might include a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, or an intense sense of fear. While it’s unsettling, it’s important to remember that a panic attack is temporary and manageable.
Recognise the Signs
Understanding that you’re having a panic attack—and not something more severe—can reduce the fear. Symptoms might include:
- A pounding heart or chest tightness.
- Feeling faint, dizzy, or lightheaded.
- Sweaty palms or trembling.
- A sense of impending doom or loss of control.
How We Can Help You
