The body releases fight or flight hormones such as adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol, when it perceives a threat. These hormones trigger a range of physiological changes designed to prepare you to fight or flee the perceived danger, including increased heart rate, rapid breathing, and heightened alertness.

Understanding the function of these hormones can help you to better manage the stress response and the associated feelings of anxiety and panic.
