What Are Panic / Anxiety Attacks?

---

Unlike most panic attacks experienced by the general population in response to a specific trigger such as stress, worries, or feared situations, the panic attacks that occur in panic disorder often occur unexpectedly, without any obvious trigger or cause

A panic attack consists of at least 4 of the following symptoms:

• Heart palpitations

• Sweating

• Trembling

• Difficulty breathing

• Feeling of choking

• Chest pain

• Nausea

• Dizziness

• Feeling unreal or detached

• Numbness or tingling sensations

• Chills or hot flushes

• Fear of dying, or fear of going crazy or losing control
