I am just curious. Not what you feel but what is going on in your brain biologically that is causing these panic attack and anxiety? Like what goes on in the brain with your tissue and your chemicals in the brain that makes you so anxious? Also what can regulate these chemicals to make you not anxious? Besides medication. I am just wondering.

what is going on biologically in your brain when you are having a panic or anxiety attack?
Not really sure what you can take to regulate the chemicals but when your having a panic attack the hypothalamus detects danger and sets off the adrenal mudulla which enlargers and releases andrenalin and noradrenalin which then go into the blood stream and set off the panic attack and all the psyical sensations of a panic attack! Hope that helps
Your amigdala is a small part of your brain that is responsible for gut-level emotions like panic, fear, etc. It is sometimes called your “lizard brain” because evolutionarily it goes back really far. When you are having a panic attack this little guy thinks that you’re in danger because something triggered it.
As a result, the amigdala starts flooding you with adrenaline which causes a lot of the commons symptoms like a racing heart and a feeling like you need to escape from where ever you are. This is what is called the “fight or flight response.”
Some people think that when you have a chronic panic or anxiety problem, it is because your amigdala has become too sensitive and it starts to interpret common, everyday things that pose no real threat to you as a possible source of danger. This sends you into “fight or flight” for no substantial reasons.
Your body is flooded with adrenaline and you don’t know what to do because there is not clear and present danger, so you have what they call a panic attack.
I’m no psychologist, but this is how I understand it to work. Hope this helps.
