Panic attacks are terrifying and debilitating, but there are ways to combat them
Early on in the pandemic, as everyone battled to secure flour and loo roll, Claire Cantor, 55, from London found herself “in the supermarket clinging to the trolley for dear life.” She’d never suffered a panic attack before. Now it felt as if the world was falling apart around her. “I got shortness of breath, my legs turned to jelly, I felt dizzy and weak, and nauseous,” she says.
