It's different for everyone I would assume... I saw one girl have a "panic attack" and she started to hyper-ventilate and eventually passed out. This calmed her down of course....

when it seems like everything is out to get you, hyperventalating, sweating, nausea, dizzyness.. well, pretty much you think youre gonna die.

Descriptive subject header.
An acute attack wherein you are unable to perform basic tasks due to an overwhelming of anxiety. That'd pretty much be my interpretation. Never got to Anxiety disorders in heavy detail while I was in Psych...

when i get one, i get really hot and have this intense fear that i'm gonna pass out (passing out in public scares me). usually happens only when i feel like i'm being crowded, kind of like a sense being trapped.

The symptoms vary from person to person, as does the severity. For some it can be sweating, increased heart rate, dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, hot/cold flashes, chest pains, and my personal fav an irregular heart beat.
Having your very first one and having it be a full blown attack (not knowing what the hell is happening to you), is probably one of the more terrifying things one could experience. As they are usually accompanied by thoughts of death or illness and feelings of clausterphobia etc. As to what they are, it could probably be described as your bodies fight or flight reaction kicking into over drive usually due to high levels of stress or at times for no apparent reason at all. From personal experience I would have to agree with ff. It is like being on E but having a really bad trip. Last edited by crackdragon; May 17, 04 at 02:56 AM.

Time stands still and you begin to lose any real control of how you're reacting to what is happening. Take something that may regularly stress you out, like sleeping in a little bit- that feeling can pretty much be a pin prick compared to how a panick attack may make you feel. You'll know you've had one especially if afterwards you feel like you've just ran a marathon and you're just completely exhausted.
Thankfully I haven't had one for about two years. More info can be found here http://www.bchealthguide.org/kbase/t...96/descrip.htm If you begin to have these regularily, talk to your dr!
