Hi Carrie,
To help define, panic attacks are a continuous overwhelming fear in situations where other people would not be worried or feel threatened.
Some examples of Panic attack symptoms are:
- Pounding and palpitation, and accelerated heart rate,
- Chill, hot flushes, and excessive sweating
- A detached feeling from surroundings, and feeling like being on the verge of feinting
- Shivering and trembling,
- Difficulty breathing / hyperventilation / chest pain / choking sensation,
- nausea, upset tummy
- overwhelming fear of loss of self control
Outside of the immediate physical and emotional panic attack symptoms which one can feel, there are also panic symptoms that can effect one's life in general ,
These general panic symptoms could be:
- Sweating
- Upset stomach
- Nervous twitches and tremors
- Tension and muscle ache
- Frequent headaches
- Insomnia and fatigue
Anxiety and panic attack symptoms are often caused by a build up of stress owing to unusually stressful events (and even routine events) - losing one's job, not making mortgage payments, a divorce, changing home, losing a loved one etc. Many people who suffer from panic attack symptoms also suffer from depression at some or another stage.
