Suddenly your heart is racing, your chest is tight, and it feels like you can’t get enough air. It can feel like you are having a heart attack. You may end up in the Emergency Room because you think you are dying.
The doctor might do an EKG and tell you, “It is just anxiety.” But even when you know it is anxiety, your fear of another panic attack can be debilitating.
It makes sense that panic attacks feel overwhelming and scary. Panic attacks are intense and unpredictable. They feel impossible to manage and control. Many people start worrying about when the next one will hit and start to shrink their life out of fear.
You don’t have to navigate these moments alone.
Living in the Bay Area often means juggling fast-paced schedules, being in crowded public spaces, and constant demands on your time and attention. It’s understandable if your body feels like it’s on high alert. High stress can lead to more panic attacks.
Some people are highly competent, but suffer greatly with anxiety and panic. These patterns of high achievement and impressive capacity to produce and be responsible can be highly rewarded in the Silicon Valley, but there can be a cost to your mental and physical health.
Another pattern I’ve seen is people who were made responsible for things beyond their capacity in childhood are prone to panic attacks. They are hyper competent, but suffer greatly with anxiety.
