Panic attacks can come in different forms. For example: OCD like behaiviors, random spouts of rage, fast talking, sputtering words, not talking at all, zoning out, or (the most common) hyperventilating. Freaking out could be caused by one thing that makes you nervous.

I think if your having physical symptoms like hypervenilating,racing heart,sweating,nausea or g.i. symptoms,on top of worry,panic,fear,it is probably a panic attack and not just freaking out.

A panic attack is when you feel your heart pounding and the room feels like it is spinning. When you are freaking out you may be jumpy, worried and nervous. A panic attack may cause your breathing to be small and choppy. I had many panic attacks growing up, this is what I remember feeling

Panic attacks come with almost no triggers and are identified by increased heart rate, dizziness, nausea, and increased breathing rate. Freaking out happens when there is a reason to panic, and will go away along with the problem.

If you're freaking out then you might be having a panic attack, either way it is not a good thing. When it comes to this you should sit down and try to breathe calmly and control yourself, it helps. I know this from personal experience!

When you're having a panic attack, it feels like you can't breathe. Your heart rate gets high and you might start shaking or getting sweaty. It usually lasts longer than just freaking out and you can't even stand, you need to lay down and it impairs your normal life.

Panic attack is a response of your organism to some situation that might not look dangerous but still your brain thinks it is. You have an intense feeling of fear that you cannot control unless you refrain from this exact situation.

From my personal experience there are obvious physical signs that happen. Everyone is different but here are some common ones, very fast heart palpitations, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, tremors, can't think straight. Basically you feel like your going to have a heart attack and die.
