Panic attacks can occur at any time of the day or night and are so disturbing that many people have been rushed to emergency medical centers, since panic attacks are often mistaken for heart attacks or seizures.

A panic attack is a physiological response to fear or sudden anxiety. The object of the fear can be either physical (like a spider) or an event (fear of flying, fear of heart attack or dying) or it can be to an imagined situation or event. For many sufferers panic attacks occur without an apparent trigger, they just ‘happen’ despite your efforts to curtail them, and this causes a great deal of distress and anxiety.

What Causes Panic Attacks?

A panic attack is a series of physiological and chemical responses caused when the brain ‘misinterprets’ a situation as life threatening. The body has a natural “flight or fight” alarm response to danger.

When faced with a life threatening situation, one may either stay put and face the danger (fight), or run away from the danger (flight). A panic attack happens when this feeling gets out of hand.

Sometimes it’s the body’s over-reaction to a feared situation, and other times there is no danger at all. There is no exclusive explanation for why this happens, but research suggests that some people are genetically more predisposed to a physiological reaction to fear, and therefore have an increased tendency to ‘misinterpret’ physical alarm signals.
