Panic attacks can often occur unexpectedly during a calm state or in a state of anxiety. Due to this, individuals may experience panic attacks anytime, anywhere. Symptoms of a panic attack include, but are not limited to: palpitations, sweating, trembling/shaking, sensations of shortness in breath, feelings of choking, chest pain/discomfort, nausea, feeling dizzy or lightheadedness, chills/heat sensations, paresthesia (numbness or tingling sensations), derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself), fear of losing control, or fear of dying. However, just because an individual has a panic attack, does not mean that they have to simply endure it.
