Panic Attacks, though physically harmless, are very freighting episodes. They are random and can be caused by a number of triggers or events. The quickly build to a peak and then dissipate.
When in the midst of a panic attack you can feel like you are dying, having a hart attack, or even suffocating. This is at the time a very fighting feeling.
You can feel like you are going crazy and all you want to do is get away from the situation or trigger of the panic attack
In some case your breathing becomes very rapid and you feel like your hart is about burst out of your chest. All these unusual feeling and physical symptoms can make you panic even more.
As it says on the front of the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy “Don’t Panic” over 5% of the population suffer at least once in there lives from panic attacks.
The American Psychiatric Association's official Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) defines a panic attack as a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort, in which 4 or more of the symptoms occur abruptly and peak within 10 minutes.
