Is it normal to have panic attacks? What causes anxiety and how to manage it
Anxiety is a normal phenomenon; it’s something we all experience at some point in our lives. Most of us feel a little anxious from time to time, but when we break out in a cold sweat, our heart starts pounding, and we feel like we can’t breathe, it can seem like something is really wrong. These symptoms might signal a panic attack, but the good news is there are things you can do to reduce how bad they feel—and in some cases, even stop them in their tracks before they happen.
