Members, Panic attacks are a cycle that can begin with physical sensations, thoughts or behaviours. For example, you may be taking the bus today and get very anxious thoughts about it. This can produce some of physical sensations of a panic attack, like an increased heart rate or sweating. Similarly, you may start to feel dizzy and come to the conclusion that you€™re having a panic attack leading to even more anxious thinking and possible a change in behaviour (escape or avoidance). Anxious thoughts feed the panic cycle and make things worse. One way to stop the cycle is to challenge your anxious thoughts. Sylvie, Bilingual Health Educator
