When should you see a doctor?

If you're experiencing even one of the following, it's time to talk to an expert:

  • 1
    You have had more than one unexpected panic attack
  • 2
    You fear the next attack enough to change routines
  • 3
    Attacks are disrupting work, travel or sleep

Important to Know:

Panic feels dangerous. Assessment rules out other causes and builds a calm plan.

Root Causes

Understanding Causes of Panic Attacks

Panic is a false alarm in the fight-or-flight system. The fear of sensations keeps it going.

Physical Causes

Autonomic Surges

Adrenaline spikes create intense body symptoms that feel like medical emergencies.

Sleep Debt & Stimulants

Poor sleep and caffeine can lower the threshold for attacks.

Psychological Factors

Fear of Sensations

Misreading a racing heart as danger creates a second wave of panic.

Avoidance

Skipping places where attacks happened teaches the brain those places are unsafe.
