How can i deal with panic attacks. And how do i know that nothing is wrong with me.

Some panic attack symptoms can make you wonder if you're having a heart attack or something else is wrong physically. If you are having panic attacks, there are a lot of us who do. You're not alone. Trying to distract yourself can work. I do crosswords, research online, take walks, read, talk to people. Use what works for you. Sometimes my coping strategies don't work, though. There are meds that can help with anxiety and panic disorders. They can take time to work, which is what I'm dealing with now that I'm switching to a new one. My old med stopped working after 17 years, but there are plenty of other choices. There's also therapy which can help. Good luck, hope you find relief.
