Experiencing Panic Attacks

Experiencing Panic Attacks

  • Around 15 to 30 percent of us experience a panic attack at least once in our lives, which is essentially our body’s emergency response system.

  • Side-effects may include sweating and dizziness, and the commotion usually lasts a few minutes.
