A Panic Attack is the sudden onset of a severe feeling of dread or extreme nervousness. Solh Wellness explains some common Symptoms, Prevention and ways to treat Panic Attacks.
2. Everyone occasionally feels anxious, scared, or stressed.
It is a human being's instinctive reaction to frightening
or hazardous situations. However, some people worry
more often than others, seemingly for no cause. Sudden
and overwhelming panic episodes are possible.
Knowing what to do when they occur can help lessen
their impact or even put a halt to them.
The sudden onset of a severe feeling of dread or
extreme nervousness is known as a panic attack. These
feelings of terror and dread typically come on suddenly
and are out of proportion to any real threat or peril.
Introduction
6. These assaults happen when a
person is exposed to or is
preparing for a specific trigger.
For instance, a person who is
afraid of heights might
experience a panic attack
inside a tall structure.

encountered. These assaults don't always take
place when the victim is exposed to the trigger. For
instance, a person who is afraid of aircraft might
not always experience panic attacks in flight or
might experience them later.
