Panic Attacks Can Strike Even in Safe Environments: Abdominal Breathing Helps Calm Emotions
Panic disorder is a type of anxiety condition characterized by sudden episodes of intense fear and physical discomfort. During an attack, patients may experience palpitations, chest pain, rapid breathing, sweating, trembling, dizziness, and overwhelming fears of death or losing control. Each episode typically peaks within minutes and subsides quickly, yet the lingering worry of recurrence often restricts daily life. Importantly, panic attacks can occur even in seemingly safe environments.
