Stress and anxiety can lead to panic attacks.

To minimise it you have to identify underlying trigger events.

Stress free work and activity will help.

Do involve in pleasurable activities like music and hobbies.


Exercise and meditation will help.


Daily schedule work and take proper sleep.


It can be treated with medicine like combination of SSRI and benzodiazapine.
