A panic attack is a sudden rush of uncomfortable physical symptoms coupled with thoughts of impending doom or the feeling that you are dying. Sometimes you can have chest pain, difficulty breathing, elevated heart rate and blood pressure, unreasoning fear, trembling or shaking, choking feeling, feeling unreal or detached from your surroundings, sweating, feeling dizzy, lightheaded.
These kind of symptoms are unpredictable.
Panic attacks are classified into three basic types: spontaneous, situationally bound and situationally predisposed. The worst thing is that in many cases, panic attacks strike out of the blue, without any warning. Most panic attacks end within 20 to 30 minutes, and they rarely last more than an hour.
If you suffer recurrently from panic attacks this means you have a Panic Disorder and this comes from the Anxiety Disorders category as classified by the National Institute of Mental Health.
