In event of danger or risk, there would be an adrenaline rush into our body muscles so that we can react defensively to protect ourselves in the survival fight. The brain would decide on the better reaction of whether to fight for our survival or to run and hide away from the danger called fight or flight reaction. This emotion is natural instinct of humans and has evolved and ingrained in our daily lives. For some people, there are cases where the state of emotional fear lingers for so long that it cannot be eliminated as a result of the fight or flight reaction that results in what is known as panic attacks.

Panic attacks are an exaggerated condition due to fear. While some fear is healthy, in panic attacks there is an overwhelming amount of fear. The panic attack can come into our lives with no warning at all. There may be no logical reason why we can get into a state of panic, however once a panic attack occurs it is very intense and there is nothing that we can do about it.

The physical symptoms of panic attacks include abdominal distress, shortness of breath, trembling and shaking, nausea and diarrhea, muscle tension and usually accompanied by pounding heart, sweatiness and faintness. During these attacks, the people may feel chilled or weak and they may experience tightness in chest and smothering sensations. They may also suffer derealisation and deper

Therefore, it is not unreal that there are instances that a victim can suffer sudden panic attack even when he or she is sleeping.

Once panic attacks have happened, they cannot be easily stopped or cannot be stopped at all. The rates and frequency of occurrence of panic attacks cannot be predicted because there can be absolutely no warning signs to suggest that they can occur. This means that there are possibilities that they can occur at any place and at any point in time. The strong mental and emotional reactions to the attacks are a result of the out-of-propor
