First aid for a panic attack

Feeling overwhelmed? You might be having a panic attack. Panic attacks can be scary, but they're more common than you think. Here's what you need to know:

What is a panic attack? It's a sudden rush of fear or apprehension, even when there's no actual danger. Symptoms usually peak within 10 minutes and then subside.

Recognize the signs: Shortness of breath, tightness in chest, racing heartbeat, sweating, dizziness, trembling, feeling nauseous, fear of losing control.

Here's how to cope:

Calm your body: Take slow, deep breaths. In through your nose, out through your mouth.

Ground yourself: Focus on your senses. What do you see, hear, feel, smell, and taste?

Realistic self-talk: Remind yourself that this is temporary and will pass. You've got this!

Need more support? Reach out to a friend, family member, or mental health professional. You are not alone.
