Many people have different symptoms when it comes to panic attacks, mostly it is breathing difficulties, sometimes tingling in hands and feet, sweating, hot and cold flashes, vision may start to be affected, you may feel nausea or feel slightly faint: the list is endless. It is important if you do have a panic attack to try and pinpoint what triggered it and sometimes doing breathing techniques each day can reduce the chance of you having a panic attack, so make sure you take the time in the day for yourself.

shortness of breath, extreme terror or fear of death, rapid heartbeat, nausea, & a need to escape...

One easy sign to know if you're having a panic attack is if you have tightness in your chest, or trouble breathing. That's the first thing I would look out for. General nervousness or worry that you're going to freak out would be another. If you think you're having a heart attack (but are young and healthy) you probably are just having a panic attack.

Typically, for me, I start to hyperventilate, and lose track of time and myself/my emotions. You sort of detach from the world. Breathing may quicken, you may shake, you'll feel scared and confused. These are all normal. Always remember to breathe! In the nose, out the mouth, and repeat.

Look for at least four of these signs: sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, chocking sensation, chest pain, nausea, dizziness, fear of losing your mind, feeling hot or cold, fear of dying, numbness or tingling, a racing heart/palpitations and feeling detached from yourself. This often comes suddenly with symptoms peaking within 10 minutes. People generally can overcome panic attacks faster If they seek help after the first one or two and when you do seek help your doctor will ask about your symptoms and the situation surrounding that. However, if you don't feel comfortable seeking help there are plenty of apps on electronical devices that can help you with panic attacks more privately.

Sometimes it's difficult to decipher when you're having a panic attack. At other times, it's more obvious to when you are. When you are having a panic attack you could start to sweat. You could have an out of body sensation, which means you feel like you're floating. You could start rocking back and forth. Your heart rate could also rapidly speed up, or maybe just a little bit. It is hard to get it under control. You could become dizzy, and you could also shake and tremble. Sometimes people even feel like they're going to die. It is a common fear whilst having a panic attack. Another fear that i personally have is a fear that i'm going crazy, or losing my mind. Also, a lot of crying. These are the main symptoms of having a panic attack.
