Panic Attacks: Why They Happen and How to Manage Them
Sudden feelings of fear, a racing heart, and shortness of breath—panic attacks can be frightening and make you feel out of control. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. A panic attack is a strong but temporary reaction as your body tries to cope with stress.
Why Do Panic Attacks Happen?
A panic attack is the result of your nervous system activating its “alarm system” in response to real or perceived threats:
- Chronic stress. Constant tension depletes your body’s resources, making it more vulnerable to sudden reactions.
- Hidden fears. Unrecognized fears or anxieties can unexpectedly surface as a panic attack.
- Physiological factors. Lack of sleep, exhaustion, or physical imbalances can increase the likelihood of panic attacks.
These reasons show that a panic attack isn’t a weakness—it’s a signal that your body needs rest and support.
