Panic Attacks - SafeHaven Trauma Centre

A panic attack is our body’s exaggerated response to fear, stress or excitement and is a really terrifying experience.

Symptoms include:
•    Nausea
•    Sweating
•    Chest pains
•    Trembling
•    Feeling faint
•    Anxiety and fear.

Some people feel like they are going to black out, have a heart attack or even die, and even though they are incredibly frightening and intense, they are not dangerous.
