Panic attacks are very different for each person. The varying symptoms are shaking, faster breathing, sweating, uncontrollable hand movements, emotional outburts and so many more. Part of dealing with anxiety is identifying your symptoms and how to deal with them!

Every person is different, every panic attack is also different. Maybe while someone can't breathe on crowded places, you can't calm your heart out.

Everyone of us are all different and each going through different obstacles in our lives. I would definitely say we all experience panic attacks differently but similar enough to be able to relate with other people about them.

No, some people have different panic attacks than others. Some of them might cry, get chest pain and more while others maybe don't get that. But, some people have panic attacks in the same way, but not all of them.

Panic attacks are triggered by different things for different people and are caused by lots of reasons. Everyone has different symptoms some people are quiet and won't speak others may scream and shout, we are all different in the way we show our panic attacks.

Well it often has to do with your situation and different worries you hold, it is different from person to person I'll make that much clear, your temperament and ability to filter out unreasonable thoughts also weighs on how you react...
