What Are the Symptoms of a Panic Attack?

Symptoms of panic attacks can include:

• A racing heartbeat
• Breathing difficulties and hyperventilation
• Dizziness and lightheadedness
• Nausea
• Trembling and shaking
• Sweating
• Choking and chest pain
• Hot flashes, or sudden chills
• Paralyzing terror

Panic attacks may be linked to a condition known as panic disorder. This is defined by:
1) Recurrent panic attacks (either expected or unexpected) and
2) At least one of these attacks has been followed by a month (or more) of one or more of the following:

• Persistent concern about the implications of the attack, such as its consequences (e.g., fear of having a heart attack or “going crazy”) or fears of additional attacks
• A significant change in behavior related to the attacks (e.g., avoiding exercise or unfamiliar situations where attacks could happen)
