Recognition
Do any of these feel familiar?
People describe a sudden, overwhelming wave of physical terror — heart hammering, unable to catch breath, shaking, certain that something catastrophic is happening. The experience is completely convincing in the moment that this is a medical emergency. Many call ambulances or attend A&E, only to be told physically they are fine. The aftermath includes exhaustion, residual fear, and often a determination to avoid situations associated with the episode.
