Conditions we treat
Online Consultation for Panic Attacks
A panic attack is frightening and physical, and many people first fear something is wrong with their heart. Our clinicians assess what is happening and explain the options with you.
What panic attacks means
A panic attack is a sudden surge of intense fear with strong physical symptoms that usually peaks within minutes. Panic disorder describes repeated attacks together with ongoing worry about the next one, which often leads to avoiding places where an attack happened before.
Common signs and symptoms
- Sudden pounding heart, chest tightness or breathlessness
- Sweating, trembling, chills or hot flushes
- Dizziness, light-headedness or a feeling of unreality
- A strong fear of losing control or that something terrible is happening
- Tingling or numbness in the hands, face or feet
- Avoiding travel, crowds or being alone in case an attack starts
When professional support may help
- You have had more than one unexpected attack
- You are changing your routine to avoid another attack
- Attacks are affecting work, study, sleep or relationships
- A doctor has ruled out a physical cause and the attacks continue
How Veera's Global can help
Cognitive behavioural therapy for panic, breathing and interoceptive work, and psychiatric review where medication may be appropriate.
Fees, session length and what happens next
- Fees
- ₹2,500 / US$25 for a consultation with our current specialists. The fee for each clinician is shown on their profile and again at checkout, converted to your local currency where a rate is available. There is no separate platform charge.
- Session length
- Session length is set by each clinician and shown on their profile and on the slot you pick, so you know the exact duration before you pay.
- Languages
- English, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Bengali. Languages vary by clinician and are listed on each profile — filter on the specialists page before booking.
- How the session happens
- Sessions are held in a Google Meet room created for that appointment only. Nothing is recorded unless you give explicit consent first.
- Follow-up
- Follow-up is booked the same way as the first appointment, with the same clinician where you prefer. Your notes, any prescription and previous sessions stay on one record, so you do not repeat your history each time.
Our psychiatrists are registered medical practitioners in India and work within India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines. An e-prescription can be issued after assessment where those guidelines permit it for your presentation; some medicines must be prescribed in person.
Talking therapy with our psychologists is available wherever you can join a secure video call. Psychiatry consultations outside India are provided as assessment, review and second-opinion work; prescriptions for a country other than India generally have to be issued or endorsed by a clinician registered there, and your psychiatrist will tell you what applies in your case before you book a follow-up.
What online care cannot do
- Online care is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact your local emergency number or a crisis helpline.
- Medically supervised detoxification, acute psychosis and situations needing physical examination or admission require in-person services.
- Prescribing depends on the clinician's registration and the rules of the country you are in; your clinician confirms what is possible at assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Are panic attacks dangerous?
A panic attack is intensely unpleasant but is not itself physically dangerous. Because the symptoms overlap with heart and breathing conditions, a first attack should still be checked medically so physical causes are excluded.
How long does treatment usually take?
Panic responds well to structured therapy and many people notice change within a course of sessions. Your clinician sets out an indicative plan after the first consultation and reviews it with you.
