What is a panic attack?

A panic attack is a short episode of extreme anxiety, which leads to physical sensations of fear. Panic attacks happen unexpectedly and frequently and aren’t usually related to any outside threat.

Physical symptoms of fear and anxiety during a panic attack can include muscle tension, a racing heartbeat, trembling, dizziness, and shortness of breath. Other symptoms include nausea, headache, vomiting, stomach pain, chills, sweating, numbness, and more. You might also experience mental symptoms, like a feeling of unreality or detachment.

What triggers panic attacks?

Researchers don’t know exactly what causes panic attacks or panic disorders, but panic attacks can be impacted by several factors, including:

  • Major stress
  • Genetics
  • A personality or temperament that’s more prone to negative emotions or sensitive to stress
  • Specific changes in the way some parts of your brain function

Panic attacks can start happening suddenly and unexpectedly at first, but they’re typically triggered by specific situations over time.
