What are panic attacks, and what are the symptoms

Panic attacks are sudden episodes of intense fear that trigger severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you're losing control, having a heart attack, or even dying.


Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But you may have the panic disorder if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack.


When you're experiencing panic attacks, knowing what's happening inside your body can be challenging. Some several signs and symptoms may occur during or after an episode: Sense of impending doom, dread about something happening soon like death, fear for one's self as if one were not able to control themselves because their mind was telling them no matter how hard someone tried, there would always eventually come up short somewhere between vows made under pressure with people watching closely waiting expectations becoming realities. Panic disorder is an actual illness that can be effectively treated. With TMS therapy, most people with panic disorder improve, and many recover completely.

What to do if Anxiety becomes too much to handle

Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions in the US, with up to 1 in 4 people suffering at some point. Anxiety symptoms can be both psychological and physical. These will vary from person to person but may include the following:

  • Restlessness
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Feelings of dread
  • Feelings of being on edge
  • Problems sleeping
  • Irritability
  • Dizziness
  • Heart palpitations
  • Shortness of breath
  • Dry mouth.

Though research is limited, doctors have successfully used TMS to treat Anxiety. Studies have shown significant benefits for individuals diagnosed with "anxious depression" or depression and combined Anxiety. Depression has been reduced through TMS in these cases.

What is TMS Therapy

Panic attacks can be extremely frightening and use a great deal of Anxiety. TMS is a noninvasive therapy that uses a magnetic pulse to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation. TMS is a safe and effective treatment for Anxiety with few side effects. Panic disorder is characterized by recurrent panic attacks, sudden periods of intense fear or discomfort that peak within minutes. Panic attacks are often accompanied by physical symptoms, such as heart palpitations, shortness of breath, and sweating. Panic disorder can cause significant impairment in one's quality of life and can be debilitating. TMS therapy offers hope for those with panic disorder by providing a safe and effective treatment with few side effects.

How it works

Anxiety disorders are associated with hyperactivity in the amygdala, which is the part of the brain responsible for processing emotions. This can lead to the fight or flight response, which stressful or life-threatening situations can trigger. TMS therapy is a treatment that uses magnetic energy to stimulate the brain and relieve anxiety symptoms. TMS is a well-tolerated, noninvasive treatment that does not require anesthesia or sedation. In bilateral TMS treatments, magnetic fields raise activity in the left DLPFC and reduce activity in the right DLPFC. Because fear can be fueled by hyperactivity in the right brain, lowering activity levels can help relieve anxiety symptoms. TMS is an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, and it can help you to reduce your Anxiety and live a better life.
