Yes, that is the main way you can tell if you are having one. During a panic attack we often struggle to breathe and begin to hyper ventilate.

Yes it is! Because when you are having a panic attack, basically you are super anxious so you are breathing faster than usual and your breathings are not as deeper as usual, so this is why you have trouble to breath and you feel pain on your chest.

it's very normal to have trouble breathing during a panic attack. Panic attacks can restrict your chest, and as you try to get more air in, it is common to only get small bits of air. It's important to focus on your breathing during panic attacks because of this!

Having trouble breathing can be one of the symptoms of a panic attack - whilst there are plenty of people that experience this, it still feels scary at the time. Try to practice some grounding or mindfulness techniques that may be able to help you focus on breathing regularly if you have another panic attack.

It is completely normal to have trouble breathing during a panic attack. In some cases you may hyperventilate. In these instances, it is helpful to breathe in a brown lunch bag, or take a 5-10 minute walk outside.

It's very normal, if unpleasant, to have trouble breathing during a panic attack. Some people feel like they can't breathe, others hyperventilate--it all depends on the person.

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
