What are Panic Attacks?

Many people who suffer from anxiety have had the terrifying experience of having a panic attack. A panic attack feels like a sudden wave of fear, extreme discomfort, or intense anxiety that can last minutes or even hours. A panic attack has a beginning, and an end, with a horrible peak and surge in the middle. When you experience a panic attack you might feel a few of these symptoms below all at once:

  • Heart palpitations, or the feeling of your heart racing
  • Sweating
  • Feeling shaky, or having tremors
  • Having a hard time breathing, or feeling you are being smothered or choked
  • Pain, pressure, or tightness in your chest
  • Nausea, diarrhea, or stomach discomfort
  • Feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or even like you are going to pass out
  • Getting chills or flashes of heat
  • Numbness or tingling sensations
  • Derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (feeling detached from yourself)
  • Having an intense fear of losing control, going crazy, or dying

Panic attacks can feel so overwhelming to some people that they end up avoiding doing activities or going to places that they associate their panic attacks with. For example, a person that experiences a panic attack while driving on the highway becomes so worried about it happening again, that they end up avoiding driving on highways completely. Or another person who experiences a panic attack while flying on a plane, develops a fear of flying and avoids traveling. Have you ever avoided going to a place or doing something because you were afraid of having another panic attack?

Panic attacks can be so physically painful and uncomfortable that people who experience them can start to worry that they are a signal that something else is wrong with their health. Panic attacks can snowball into a worry cycle that makes you think there is something wrong with your heart or that you could be suffering from a serious disease. It is very common for people to go to the emergency room the first time they experience a panic attack.
