How can I tell if I’m having a panic attack?
assistant
You may have a panic attack if you experience a combination of physical and psychological symptoms, such as: increased heart rate, shortness of breath, chest pain or tightness, feeling overwhelmed, feelings of impending doom, feelings of detachment, and sweating. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to take steps to manage your stress and anxiety, such as mindful breathing and relaxation techniques. You should also consult with a medical professional if you are unsure whether you are having a panic attack or some other medical issue.
