It's different for some people, but you usually can't breathe, your mouth gets really dry and you can get chest pain. Also, you sweat a lot.

Quick breathing, a pain in your chest, maybe some cold sweats? Sometimes, you'll find yourself caving in on yourself (physically) and you just need to relax and slow your breathing.
