Anyone who has experienced a panic attack will tell you that such episodes are among the most painful, terrifying, and seemingly unbearable experiences he or she has endured. Panic attacks can come out of the blue and generally last no longer than ten minutes or so – but that ten minutes can feel like an eternity and have a traumatic impact on you.
Common physical symptoms of a panic attack include:
- Heart palpitations
- Shortness of breath
- Tightening in the chest
- Dizziness
- Faintness
- Choking sensations
- Sweating
- Trembling
- Tingling in the hands and feet
- Feelings of unreality or as if things are surreal
- An intense urge to flee the situation
- Fear of going crazy
- Fear of dying
- Fear of doing something uncontrollable
