Hello @aplausos
This is more common than people think. I remember coming to emergency with these panic attacks, and family members think it is something physical, they do not understand that it is psychological, and you have to learn to differentiate that, because as a doctor it is up to you to identify it.
It is a very unpleasant sensation for the person, but it does not require any medication at the moment, just talk to the person, it is as easy as that. Then, if it corresponds to their respective psychological consultation.
Certainly my friend it is believed that one is facing death or a heart attack or something similar, and certainly talk and reassure is an effective tool, thank you for enriching my publication with your comment, greetings.
