Does a panic attack mean I am in danger?
Panic attacks can feel very intense, but an evaluation can help distinguish them from other causes. For new or severe symptoms or a possible medical emergency, call 911.
Care for anxiety and panic
Understanding your symptoms can help you regain a sense of calm.
