The symptoms are incredibly varied and can vary between individuals and even between attacks. The most common symptom which all sufferers can relate to is the overwhelming feeling of fear or extreme malaise. You feel as if you simply have to get away right now from...whatever. You may not even know what you want to get away from. It can come out of the blue or develop gradually. It may be linked to a specific phobia. The usual body responses to fear kick in such as an increase in heart rate breathing and an adrenalin surge - which is what makes you want to GO! You can feel closed in and trapped and all of the symptoms combined can make you wonder if you are really ill or dying.
The problem with many of the symptoms is that they could be very serious in themselves so until you know your own symptoms and health status it is best to get them checked out . If it is a genuine panic attack you can get medication to assist that as well. In addition to the symptoms mentioned above here are some others that those who suffer panic attacks may feel.
Dizziness
Shaking
Exhaustion
Sweating
Feverish
Sleep disturbance
Breathing difficulties
Inability to concentrate
Digestive upsets
Feeling 'disconnected' and unreal.
Thinking as if your going to die

∙ 11y agoRacing thoughts, racing heart, cold flashes, hot flashes, MOST COMMON: CHEST PAIN, heart palpitations, sweating, feeling of impending doom and fear. Fear that you are dying, feeling like you can't breathe, dissoriented dizziness, feeling like you are going to pass out, nausea and tremors. The list goes on but if you have at least 3 of these symptoms persisting at once then more than likely you are having a panic attack. A lot of people have themselves taken to the hospital thinking they are having a heart attack because of the chest pain. I have had panic attacks in the past and the chest pain is pretty bad but from what I've read the pain associated with a heart attack is much worse...reported by many as a crushing pressure on their chest and pain that also occurs in the left arm and even in the jaw. Of course you should be seen by your doctor before you can diagnose your symptoms as a panic attack or not. I am not a doctor and I am only speaking from my own personal experience and research.

How did you overcome panic attacks?
One of the most effective ways to stop having panic attacks is to look at each symptom of the panic attack as it's own thing, rather than a symptom of a panic attack. For example, someone might always feel really dizzy when he is starting to have a panic attack. Then the next time he feels dizzy and can't explain why, he begins to get nervous, and the nervousness causes more symptoms, and the cycle continues until he's actually having a panic attack. A way for him to get better would be to start spinning, and replicate the dizziness, so he can realize that dizziness doesn't necessarily mean panic attack. If you sweat excessively during panic attacks, then go to a sauna. If you feel out of breath during panic attacks, hyperventilate. Isolating the symptoms can help stop them from escalating.
