Have you ever had a panic attack? That acute feeling of terror that something is horribly wrong. A sense of impending doom, that any moment now you could just drop dead.

I had my first panic attack during the first semester of medical school and have continued to experience them ever since (even to this day).

In this episode I share with you...

• My personal experience coping with panic attacks
• What panic attacks are and why they occur
• How I approached my panic attacks while I was working in medicine, and what I do differently now to manage them

If you feel like you are experiencing a stress overload, this episode will help you learn how to better navigate these periods of extreme stress.

Life After Medicine explores doctors' journey of finding purpose beyond their medical careers, addressing physician burnout, career changes, opportunities in non-clinical jobs for physicians and remote jobs within the healthcare system without being burned out, using medical training.
