A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear or apprehension that typically lasts for several minutes. During a panic attack, a person may experience a variety of physical and emotional symptoms, including:
- Rapid heartbeat: A person may feel their heart racing or pounding.
- Breathing difficulties: A person may feel short of breath or like they can't catch their breath.
- Sweating: A person may sweat profusely.
- Trembling or shaking: A person may feel shaky or like they are trembling.
- Nausea or stomach discomfort: A person may feel sick to their stomach or have stomach pain.
- Chest pain or tightness: A person may feel pain or tightness in their chest.
- Dizziness or lightheadedness: A person may feel dizzy or lightheaded.
- Fear of losing control or dying: A person may feel like they are going to lose control or that something terrible is going to happen to them.
- Chills or hot flashes: A person may feel cold or hot.
These symptoms can be very distressing and can make a person feel like they are having a heart attack or some other medical emergency.
While a panic attack can be a one-time event, for some people, it can also happen recurrently and may be associated with Panic Disorder.
People with Panic Disorder experience recurrent unexpected panic attacks, and live in fear of the next attack.
