It defers from one person to the other but generally it causes shortness of breath, you have a sense of entrapment like you are stuck, and your thoughts race uncontrollably. If you are having a panic attack your first objective should be to calm yourself down.

I experience sweaty and shaking hands, breathing difficulties, and I have trouble focusing my vision. Sometimes I get an urge to regurgitate. When this happens I know I need to get help from a trusted adult, or use a relaxation technique immediately. Using these steps and recognizing the signs, I can normally avoid a serious panic/anxiety attack.

Panic attacks are not always physical and can be easily hidden, from my personal experience, I begin to fiddle with my fingers before I start to hyperventilate, I cannot focus on anything, I become quite frantic and I talk quite fast or not at all and my heart will pound and race in which, I can hear and feel. Others can sweat, not sit still, shake, become dizzy or lightheaded.

When I first have a panic attack, I don't really know what's going on. Maybe after a few minutes, I notice that my hands are shaking and my voice is shaky. I also have major butterflies, but I like to think of them as millions of tiny caterpillars crawling around everywhere in my body.

Everyone has different signs. Some may become stiff, or your heart rate may go up for no reason. You may get a headache, or feel sick. Learning your signs will help you know when you need to take a step back from what you are doing.

I recognize a panic attack when I feel like I can't come "back down to earth." I don't know where I want to be, my heart is racing and I feel very uncomfortable.
