What are the main symptoms of panic attacks?

In my experience, panic attacks can have quite a few symptoms. There is an overall feeling of anxiety, but it can present itself with physical symptoms too, such as a racing pulse, feeling sick to your stomach, shortness of breath, or even breaking out in a sweat.

Everyone might experience panic attacks differently, but from my experience, I tend to feel dizzy/lightheaded. My head will pound and I sometimes feel nauseous, and my lips and tongue will start to tingle or go numb, as well as my fingers and hands. You may also experience a racing heartbeat and have trouble breathing properly.

Everyone is different, but in general, there are physical symptoms and mental symptoms. The physical symptoms would be things like labored breathing or being short of breath, fast heartbeat, shaking, feeling either hot or cold, sweating or having chills, headache, muscle ache, an inability to sit still, some people even experience blurry vision. People often wring their hands or tap their feet or legs, or play with their hair or something as a response. The mental symptoms include feeling foggy, not being able to focus, feeling either extremely fatigued or extremely energetic, not being able to gather your thoughts and feeling like you're going to die or your world is falling apart. They're definitely a scary aspect of panic disorder.

Usually the main symptoms are feeling as if you're choking or short of breath, increased heart rate, hot or cold flashes, fear of dying or going crazy, abdominal discomfort, nausea, dizziness, and derealisation. Having four or more of these indicates a panic attack, which will often peak in under ten minutes, but can last longer. If you experience one to four symptoms, that can be indicative of a lesser symptom anxiety attack, which peaks anywhere between one and five minutes, and teen do be very short.

Panic disorder is fairly common and affects about 6 million adults in the US .Symptoms and signs include palpitations ,shaking and chest pain .Panic attack usually reach their peak in 10 minutes most attacks end in 20 -30 minutes

palpitations, sweating, shortness of breath, chills or hot flushes, tingling, numbness, nausea, shaking or trembling, choking sensations, dizziness

Sweaty palms, shaking, elevated heart rate (the feeling as if your heart skipped a beat), shortness of breath, & sometimes weak legs (my legs usually give out)

Mainly, when you are having a panic attack, it all starts with overthinking every single thing that's going on in your life, you feel really overwhelmed with those thoughts. You may start shaking, sweating and sometimes being paralyzed - you can't move, can't speak.

Hyperventilation, dizziness, tunnel vision, chest pain, nausea, hot/cold flashes, sweating, Paresthesia (a tingling, burning or prickling sensation of the skin), fight or flight response, and lastly Derealization

I think panic attacks can vary a little sometimes, but some of the tell tale signs are feeling clammy, difficulty breathing, feeling like there's pressure on your chest area. For some people it can be difficult to talk at all during panic attacks, and sometimes you can experience the thoughts that are making you feel this anxiety repeating in your head. I think it's important to remember when we feel like we're having a panic attack to focus on our breathing. Not only does that help combat one of the main symptoms, but it also gives us something other than our thoughts to concentrate on.
