For me, my vision goes funny, I feel like I have no control and I have to grip something. I feel faint, hot and my heart goes really fast.

the main symptoms of a panic attach is different for everyone and the severity differs too. A panic attack to me feels like heartburn, nervousness, shortness of breath and scared feelings. I get racing thoughts trying to slow down but only to realize i can't. A panic attack is a dark place and for me only medicine and relaxation helps.

High pulse rate, difficulty breathing, extreme anxiety, and a feeling of loss of control. Remember that a panic attack is your fear response.
