A video of a woman having a panic attack when Air India workers allegedly denied her access at the boarding gate, following which she suffered a panic attack. Her nephew claimed that instead of asking for medical help, the employees phoned security and forced the heart and diabetes patient out of the airport. While the patient and their family have a different opinion, Air India said a doctor took care of her immediately.

A panic attack should be taken care of immediately as it can lead to problems if left unattended. For the unversed, panic attacks are terrifying feelings that strike without warning.
