I know this may be a dumb question, but i’ve always wondered what the biological reason for panic attacks was. Is it because our brains are tricked into going into fight or flight modes? If that’s the case then wouldn’t you just feel adrenaline? And I know i’m not speaking for everyone, but for myself at least- panic attacks do not feel like bursts of adrenaline. They feel like i’m having a heart attack and I can’t shake the scary feeling of impending doom :/

There is no one cause. Why you get a panic attack can be heredity, how you are raised or just hormones. Why you get panic attacks and what triggers it, depends on the person. The only thing we know are the symptoms and that our brains make stress hormones. The triggers can be very subtle. It could come from drinking coffee or just seeing something that triggers it. Sometimes nothing happened and you just have a disbalance of neurotransmitters.
