Panic Attacks: Know the Symptoms
If you have panic disorder, you feel suddenly terrified for no reason. These frequent bursts of terror are called panic attacks. During a panic attack, you can also have physical symptoms like a fast heartbeat, difficulty breathing, or dizziness. Do you have sudden bursts of fear for no reason? Consider some of the following symptoms:
· chest pains or a racing heart
· difficulty breathing or a choking feeling
· dizziness or excessive sweating
· stomach problems or feeling like you need to vomit
· shaking, trembling, or tingling
· feeling out of control
· fear that you are dying or going crazy
Tell your doctor if the panic attacks keep you from doing everyday things and living your life. Ask for a checkup to make sure you don't have another illness.
