Panic attack?

I had an episode a couple years back the night before I had to give a presentation in front of judges for a scholarship application. I was crying and hyperventilating and my body started to tingle. This went on for probably 10 minutes until I could calm down. I am realizing now it could have been a panic attack? I am not sure if it was one or not. I havent experianced this since but I am just wondering if what I did experiance was a panic attack?
