Hey there, Panic attacks can feel frightening even to the point of feeling like you are dying or having a heart attack. However, they usually pass and are harmless. But if you feel you are concerned at all about your panic attack symptoms, particularly if they are frequent and breathing exercises don't seem to help, then it's best to talk to your doctor or go to A&E. They will be able to reassure you if it is a panic attack or help you to find the right cause and treatment, if it isn't a panic attack. If you'd like more information on panic attacks, feel free to check out our articles on panic attacks www.themix.org.uk/mental-health/stress/panic-attacks-5602.html and what to do about them www.themix.org.uk/mental-health/anxiety-ocd-and-phobias/im-having-a-panic-attack-5819.html If you're looking for more support, and you are between the ages of 13-25 and live in the UK, feel free to join our online community community.themix.org.uk/ for a safe place to chat and get support from other young people.
