9.When to See a Doctor
You probably don’t need to worry if you have just one or two incidents and they go away without other problems. But if it happens more often than that, or if you’re concerned, you should see your doctor. They can help you figure out what’s triggering your attacks and how to manage them. They’ll also want to rule out a heart condition call mitral valve prolapse.
10.Causes
Panic attacks tend to run in families and are often related to stress. Sometimes, there’s a physical reason: Your thyroid gland makes too much hormone. You don’t have enough sugar in your blood. You drank too much caffeine, or you took a stimulant drug like amphetamines or cocaine. Or you’re abusing or withdrawing from drugs or alcohol.
