Panic Attacks Feel Like Dying — But Here’s What’s Really Happening

Many people in Laredo think they’re having a heart attack.

But it’s actually a panic attack.

What a Panic Attack Feels Like

• Rapid heartbeat or chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Dizziness or feeling faint
• Intense fear or sense of losing control

These episodes can feel life-threatening—even when they’re not physically dangerous.

Why Panic Attacks Happen

Your brain triggers a “fight or flight” response without real danger.

This is a neurological response—not a personal weakness.
