Have you ever had a feeling of fear and anxiousness together? The situation you are in makes you go crazy, and there seems no way out? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your heart pounds, you’re breathing fast, and your head is spinning. What is actually happening? These are the symptoms that occur when you have a panic episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a Panic Attack? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to DSM 5, a panic attack is ‘an abrupt surge of intense fear or intense discomfort that reaches a peak within minutes.”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Suppose you’re standing in a classroom waiting for your presentation; you feel a sudden thud of your heart pounding in your chest. Your hands feel sweaty, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

and you feel like throwing up or hiding somewhere away from all those people. Your first reaction might be like you have a heart attack, and your heart will just explode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s no stroke, no heart disease; you have a panic attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the question arises, how can you know if it’s a panic attack or stroke? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens in a Panic Attack?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you have a panic attack, you feel like a stabbing pain in your chest, and it stays there for a long time. You’ll get sweaty, shaky, and tremble with fear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episode lasts for 20-30 minutes or an hour. In contrast, a heart attack lasts longer and worsens with every passing minute. The pain transfers from the chest to neck, jaw, or arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is recommended to seek a medical examiner to rule out any possibilities in both cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
