Panic attack is a sudden onset and peak rapidly (usually within 10 minutes or less) and takes about 20 minutes (but sometimes much less or more).

The symptoms that may characterize a panic attack are:

- Palpitations / tachycardia (irregular beats, heavy shaking in my chest, feel the beat in the throat)

- Fear of losing control or going crazy (such as, the fear of doing something embarrassing in public or fear to escape when it hits the panic or lose your temper)

- Feelings of confusion, instability (dizziness and vertigo)

- Tremor fine or large shocks

- Sweating

- Feeling of choking

- Pain or discomfort in the chest

- Feelings of unreality (perception of the outside world as strange and unreal, giddiness and detachment) and depersonalization (altered sense of self characterized by feelings of detachment or estrangement from their thought processes or body)

- Chills

- Hot flashes

- Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations)

- Nausea or abdominal distress

- Feeling of suffocation (or close the throat)

The frequency and severity of panic attacks varies widely over time and circumstances. For example, some people have moderately frequent attacks (Once a week), which occur regularly for months. Others report more frequent short series of attacks ( Every day for a week), interspersed with weeks or months without seizures or with less frequent attacks ( two each month) for many years.

There are also so-called limited-symptom attacks, very common in people with panic disorder, which attacks occur when only some of the symptoms of panic, without exploding in a real attack. Most people with limited-symptom attacks, however, were full of panic attacks at some point during the disturbance.

During a panic attack, automatic and uncontrolled catastrophic thoughts fill the mind of the person who has trouble thinking clearly and so afraid that these symptoms are really dangerous. Some fear that the attacks are signs of an undiagnosed illness, life-threatening (heart disease, epilepsy). Despite repeated medical examinations and reassurance, may remain frightened and convinced that they are physically vulnerable. Others fear that the panic attacks show that they are “going crazy” or losing control, or who are emotionally weak and unstable.

The above where the signs I sadly used to have one I was younger. Instead of living my life, these discomforts ruled over me. Thanks God that one day I found a way, a cure and people ready to help me. Remember that If I was able to overcome panic attacks, you can too.
