Panic Attacks - What is a panic attack?
It's important to remember that it's often appropriate and reasonable to feel stress or anxiety when you find yourself in certain situations. It’s one thing to experience fear when you're in what's normally viewed as a dangerous situation, but quite another if you simply don’t know why you're so scared, or when the fear is going to go. Thankfully, the worst of a panic attack is usually over within ten minutes or so, although if you suffer such an attack it may seem to go on for hours. Very occassionally the panic can come in short bursts for a spell of up to two hours. |
