Does everyone have panic attacks in the same way? Are panic attacks different for everyone?

I think that every one experiences panic attacks differently, and to different degrees of severity. Some people get the " stereo typical " panic anxiety attacks where they feel panicked, they can't breathe, and feel like they have a very quickly beating heart. Some people feel like they are going to have a heart attack, or like they are being suffocated, and may actually pass out. For other people, it is so draining that they fall asleep. For other people, they look like they are " zoning out " and become stiff as a board, and look frozen. There is no one type of panic attack.

No, people who have got panic attacks have panic attacks in different ways. They can feel different symptoms and they also have different triggers for panic attacks. But i can't say whether panic attacks are different for everyone as i am not an expert in it. I can only say that there might be similarities and differences among panic attacks of different people. There might be some people on the earth who have got very similar kind of panic attacks and there are people whose panic attacks differ in every single aspect. There are so many people on the world that there can be very much difference possible.
