A pánikroham, or panic attack, is a sudden episode of intense fear or anxiety that triggers severe physical reactions. These attacks can occur unexpectedly or in response to a specific trigger. Symptoms often include rapid heartbeat, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, and feelings of impending doom. During a pánikroham, individuals may feel a loss of control or fear of dying, which can be overwhelming. While these episodes can be distressing, they typically last for a short duration, often peaking within 10 minutes. Treatment options include therapy, medication, and relaxation techniques to help manage symptoms.
