Maybe I'm stupid, but WTF is a panic attack? Is it where some weak minded individual can't cope, and "panics"?

I think a panic attack is when a person is stressed out and just cant breath because of all the stress. I am trying to figure out if she is just freaking out because of the "stress" or if it is actually a medical problem? |

Chemically, it's an adrenalin dump - the "fight or flight" reaction that one gets after being startled or put in a situation of danger. With panic attacks, however, there often isn't a stimulus. EDIT: It's actually only tangentially related to what most people refer to as being "stressed out", as people who are prone to panic attacks are more susceptible when stress levels are already elevated. |

It sounds like you're her supervisor.
Sure, she's a good worker, and you want what's best for her as well as for your business. But you also need to cover your hindquarters (like you did) in case she has a bad incident again in which she or others are injured, say if she had some sort of episode while operating machinery. Keep precise records, and make sure that you advise her to see her physician according to the doctor's advice, and to make sure she knows that she not only can, but *should* take off if she is unable to continue the day's work. I for one am skeptical that "panic attacks" are a real medical condition, but that is not for laymen like us to decide here in arfcom GD. Sheesh, if I were to clutch my chest and go into conniptions every time I have to make a major decision at the office...

No man, it is caused by an illness that hits the neurotransmitters in the brain. It is like your "flight or fight" mechanism goes into full throttle. A friend of mine has this happen from time to time, instead of getting mildly upset, she thought it was the end of the world and she would spend the rest of eternity in hell. For her it lasted 15 min. or so. There is treatment for it, but they don't really work that well from what she told me. |

FWIW...they are real and you don't have them during stressful times...they generally manifest when the stress is passed and everything is seemingly ok. As I've heard it explained, it is the body's inability to fuction because the subconscience is creeping in to the conscience. |

I had a panic attack outta the blue. Couldn't breathe, my heart was racing, I was shaky and felt like I was going to die--the more I tried to clamp down on it and control it, the worse it got. Very much not fun, and I hadn't had one before, and haven't had one since...

I bet it's something akin to your body dumping a bunch of adrenaline for no apparent reason... except it's probably not adrenaline.
Remember our emotions are really chemical states in the brain. Perhaps she's feeling some stress, and her brain is producing the wrong kinds of chemicals, so something like her 'fight or flight' is kicking in, but it's not a situation where her conscious mind perceives it is neccessary. |
