What is happening to your body and brain when you are having a panic attack?

By Debra Kissen

If you’ve ever experienced a panic attack, you know it’s more than just “feeling anxious.” It’s a full-body response—heart racing, chest tightening, dizziness—that can leave you feeling completely out of control. 🧠 Here’s the truth: panic attacks are your body’s way of reacting to perceived danger, even when the situation may not be as threatening as it seems. Understanding this is the first step to regaining control. 💙 If you’re struggling with panic attacks or intense anxiety, you don’t have to face this alone. At Light On Anxiety, we specialize in helping you manage anxiety through evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs.
