The last time you felt your pulse quicken—whether it was during a high-stakes meeting, a heated argument, or the suffocating weight of an unchecked to-do list—you were experiencing the body’s primitive alarm system in overdrive. That racing heart, the shallow breaths, the mind’s frantic chatter: these are not just fleeting moments of discomfort but biological […]
