Panic Attack Symptoms

The symptoms of a panic attack might vary from person to person, but there are a few common characteristics shared by most sufferers (including me). These include:

1. Excessive sweating
2. Trembling or shaking, especially in the extremities (hands, feet)
3. Excessive palpitation; increased heart rate
4. Shortness of breath
5. Pain in the chest, discomfort while breathing.
6. Nausea
7. A sense of loss of control, or fear of losing sanity.
8. Feeling of impending doom
9. Light-headedness.

If you suffer from any one of these, it doesn’t necessarily have to be because of an underlying anxiety/panic disorder. Many times, because of easily explainable factors such as worplace related stress, financial distress, an impending college exam, an important job interview, the body might display certain conditions that match the symptoms listed above. In such a scenario, don’t lose too much sleep over it.

When your body displays these symptoms without any apparent, logical and comprehensible reason, you should consider it a serious medical issue and consult a doctor. You may be suffering from a panic/anxiety disorder issue.
