Mentally, you know it’s “just” a panic attack – but it feels like being caught in a storm, except you’re the only one who can hear the thunder.
One moment, you’re going about your day, and the next, your heart races, your breath shortens, and the world seems to close in around you. It’s like your body has sounded an alarm that you can’t silence, and you’re left feeling overwhelmed, scared, and utterly alone.
These attacks seem like they can come out of nowhere, turning ordinary moments into battles against an invisible enemy. You might find yourself avoiding places or situations for fear of triggering another attack, even though you know it’s making your world that much smaller. But what else can you do when you feel like you’re walking on a tightrope, always cautious, and always bracing for the next fall?
At AMFM, we understand that panic attacks can be intense. We know how real and all-consuming they can feel. But we also know that with the right support and strategies, panic attacks can become a story of something that used to control you, but doesn’t anymore.
You don’t have to face this alone; we’re here to offer the guidance and care you need to regain your balance and peace of mind.
Panic attacks can show up in some intense, often frightening ways. Recognizing the signs that what you’re experiencing is a panic attack is important- and it’s also the first step toward getting the help you need.
Here’s what you or a loved one might experience during a panic attack:
An uncomfortably fast heartbeat (that can might even make you think you’re having a heart attack!)
Unexplained sweating even when you’re not exerting yourself.
Involuntary shaking that can make you feel vulnerable or out of control.
Feeling like you can’t catch your breath, which can heighten the panic.
An overwhelming sense that something terrible is about to happen, even without any visible danger.
A woozy or spinning sensation that can make standing or concentrating difficult.
A sudden, unsettling stomach upset.
Again, this can be mistaken for a heart condition.
Often described as pins and needles in various parts of the body.
Panic attacks can be completely unpredictable, which means even if you’re not in the middle of one, you’re wondering when the next one is coming.
Identifying panic attacks can help you avoid checking into the ER whenever you experience one. But recognition is also important because panic attacks can be treated. At AMFM, we can help you by providing the tools and support you need to not just survive but thrive beyond panic attacks.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
Panic attacks don’t discriminate; they can affect anyone, at any time, often without warning. But once you’ve had one panic attack, you might be more likely to have another.
Understanding the causes behind these overwhelming experiences is a crucial part of the puzzle in finding effective treatment. Here are some factors that may contribute to panic attacks:
High levels of stress, whether from work, relationships, or other life pressures, can trigger panic attacks.
A family history of anxiety disorders or panic attacks can increase your risk.
Events like graduating, starting a new job, getting married, or experiencing a loss can act as catalysts.
Conditions such as depression, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are often linked to panic
Some physical health issues, like thyroid disorders or heart conditions, can mimic or exacerbate panic attack symptoms.
The use of caffeine, alcohol, and certain drugs can provoke panic attacks in susceptible individuals.
Panic attacks are a sign of underlying issues, not a weakness. They mean that your body is trying to tell you something important about your wellbeing. At AMFM, we delve into these potential causes with compassion and expertise, looking to uncover the root of your panic attacks we we can create a personalized plan for relief and recovery.

The cost of treatment is dependent on the details of your coverage, including your limitations, exclusions, deductibles, and copayments. Additionally, some treatment plans have required prior authorizations.
