A panic attack is when you suddenly feel really scared or worried. It can happen quickly and comes with at least four of these signs: your heart beats fast, you sweat, shake, have trouble breathing, or feel like you’re smothering.
We don’t know exactly why panic attacks happen, but they might be related to your family history or tough situations like losing a loved one or losing your job.
There are many symptoms of a panic attack, like your heart racing, feeling weak, or having numb hands. You might also feel really scared or like something bad is going to happen.
