The main symptoms of panic attacks are:
*Shortness of breath
*Struggling to breath
*Racing heart
*Fidgetiness (aka rapid/fast movements in the limbs.)
*Feelings of dizziness or like you're about to faint
If you experienced any of these, please reach out to a doctor and talk to someone about this experience as you may suffer from anxiety.

The main symptoms of panic attacks are hyperventilation, dizziness, tunnel vision, chest pain, nausea, hot/cold flashes, sweating, parethesia (the sensation of tingling), fight of flight response, and derealisation. Panic attacks are different from everyone. Personally. I start to tremble but it depends on severity as well. Hope this was helpful.
