Could Rapid Heart Rate Be Due To A Panic Attack?

I am having what I think is a serious panic attack. I feel like I want to explode. Nothing happened to trigger this, but my heart is beating very fast and I feel like I want to jump out of my skin. I have been feeling like this a lot lately. What's going on with me?

Hi,

For this reason, I recommend trying to close your eyes and take some deep breaths. Performing Yoga and regular physical activity can help improve your situation. Consulting with a specialist of this field (psychiatrist, psychologist) can help improve your situation.

I would also recommend checking thyroid hormone levels.

Hope I have answered your query.
