Panic Attacks

Jefferson Fisher shares his intense experience with panic attacks, describing a night when he believed he was having a heart attack. He recounts the physical symptoms, such as uncontrollable shaking and heart palpitations, that led him to call 911 and visit the ER 1. Despite being told his heart was healthy, the diagnosis of a panic attack left him feeling vulnerable and anxious about his mental state. Over time, Jefferson learned to manage these episodes by recognizing early signs and seeking therapy, which helped him feel less isolated 2.
