In a recent This is Us episode, Randall experienced a panic attack, the effects of stress and chronic anxiety. Randall is sitting in his office when his vision goes blurry and his hands start shaking. When he calls his brother Kevin and cancels, luckily, Kevin realizes something is wrong, and he comes to the aid of Randall. Whether as a victim of anxiety or as a friend or family member of someone suffering from the disorder, recognizing the signs of a panic attack and dealing with the symptoms is important.
Panic attacks often start in childhood. While the first attack may come out of the blue, subsequent attacks may be triggered by stress.
Signs of a panic attack may include shaking, sweating, hyperventilating, and difficulty breathing.
