Panic attacks can disrupt your life in ways that feel overwhelming. Whether they strike out of nowhere or build slowly over time, they can leave you exhausted, fearful, and unsure of what’s happening in your body

Many people fear they’re having a heart attack, passing out, or losing control. But while panic attacks feel dangerous, they are not life‑threatening.
