What is a panic attack?

A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear that can occur when there is no immediate danger. For some people, attacks happen unexpectedly. It is not unusual to have a panic attacks without a definitive known cause. For others, panic may be connected to specific situations, stress, career, family, or health concerns. Episodes of panic can present while at the grocery store, on a plane, at an event, during work, or even while relaxing at home. This can leave a lingering feeling of anxiety for weeks or even months. After experiencing a panic attack, it is common to become afraid of having another one. Fear can lead to avoiding places, activities, travel, social situations, or other parts of your life. This can affect your work, relationships, sleep, travel, social life, or sense of independence.
