Panic attacks come fast — sudden waves of fear, racing heart, shortness of breath, the feeling that something is very wrong. They're terrifying and they're also one of the most workable patterns to get support for. This 5-question check-in helps you tell whether what you've been experiencing fits the pattern of recurring panic.
What a panic attack typically feels like
- Sudden wave of intense fear or discomfort, sometimes with no obvious trigger
- Heart racing, pounding, or skipping
- Tightness in your chest or trouble catching your breath
- Trembling, sweating, or chills
- Feeling detached from yourself or your surroundings
- Fear of losing control or that something terrible is about to happen
- Most attacks peak within 10 minutes, then subside
