Anxiety can present in many different ways. One sign of Anxiety can be panic attacks. A panic attack is when your body suddenly feels very scared, even if there's no real danger. It can make your heart beat fast, make you feel shaky, and sometimes it's hard to breathe. Read more about coping with panic attacks here: https://lnkd.in/dNtYMfxf #anxiety #panicattacks #mentalhealth #masiviwe Masiviwe
