Yes, there is a problem...but the problem is not that big as you think it is ! Actually the only problem is that your brain misinterpret a normal situation as a potential danger to your self and that's why he gets you in the alert zone where your fight or flight response is activated. The good news is that, this problem can be removed with some psychological intervention. Need help ? Contact me !

Actually yes, it means you are under so much stress that needs to be relieved before you explode, its a psycho logic warning sign that requires attention. You have to learn how to let go of things that can cause these panic attacks, and deal with them more rationally than emotionally.
Remember: Whatever bad situation it is, it will pass just like the second the minutes and the days.

Panic attacks are a completely natural reaction to situations where you may be fearful or scared - however, if you're having panic attacks on a regular basis or you are feeling constantly scared, fearful or anxious, your best step would be to speak to your primary care doctor with your concerns - don't be afraid of asking for help.

Usually there is no problem, it's just your system telling you that there is a problem. that's why it is called an attack. but if youare referring to have a problem inside your body, i can say you have an Anxiety disorder which curable.

It probably does mean there is a problem. It could also mean that there is more wrong with the environment you are in. It's probably best to contact a proffessional.

Generally, yes! Panic and anxiety attacks are not common in everyday life, and if you are experiencing them often, the best thing to do is to reach out to a mental health professional. They can diagnose you with any disorders you might have, and to help you accordingly. However, if you don't have the means to see a mental health professional, community outreach and support is the next best option. There are many guides on ways to cope with anxiety and panic attacks in the moment, and perusing these might help you the next time you have an attack.

When it comes to panic attacks, you have to pay attention to when and where they occur. Once you do that, the "why" should be easier to figure out.

Yes. There is no "healthy" amount of panic attacks, no matter the cause. If something can be classified as a panic attack, most likely it is a symptom of something deeper. If your panic attacks have a specific, "normal" cause that has only been arising more often recently (such as being afraid of public speech and your school assigning a lot of oral presentations during the last week) then you're probably suffering from normal speech anxiety, but if talking, specific persons, large groups, a specific place, a certain memory, or something else that "triggers" your panic attacks unexpectedly is causing them then there is definitely a problem.

If you are having panic attacks it could mean you have anxiety. I suggest talking to someone. Anxiety doesn't have to be a major problem, you can learn to control it so it doesn't take over your life. if you don't feel comfortable talking to someone...apps such as "Mindshift" are great and really help. :)

Yes there has to be a problem. No one has panic attacks for nothing. Something has got to be causing these panic attacks.

Panic attacks can cause you to feel a lot of physical symptoms. It may seem like there is something physically wrong with you, but more often than not there is nothing physically wrong with you. If you are continuously having panic attacks you should talk to a professional. You will need to discuss the best treatment options. By speaking to a professional as well you will be able to get to the root of what is causing your panic.

It might mean that there is something negatively affecting you in your life, but that does not necessarily mean that there is a problem or that there is something "wrong" with you. There is a rooted reason for panic attacks, whether it is the fear of something terrible happening, the fear that your body is failing you, or simply the fear of panicking. The emotion of fear is being consistently activated, and targeting that reason for the fear can help you overcome your panic attacks.

Yes, it is a beginning of a serious problem. Try to relax as soon as possible and visit a therapist, or talk to someone you trust.

There are moments when I feel a lot of anxiety and some others when the world around me feels okay. In the moments where I feel overwhelmed, I check the basics : do I sleep/eat well and enough ? Do I exercise a little ? Do I have a friend to speak with ?
I am not broken but I can forget that sometimes. I am whole and sometimes I need a doctor or a therapist to remember it.
