Best Answer

Panic attacks may be triggered by a specific action, such as drinking too much caffeine, or by a situation, such as being in a large crowd. Panic attacks may also start suddenly without a known trigger. For many people,it happens at the same time during their life when there is a lot of stress, such as a life-threatening illness or accident, the loss of a relationship, or separation from family.

Who is the first person to diagnose panic disorder?

Who was the first to discover panic disorder?? Well, your question is not very clear. Do you mean who is the first person to actually diagnose and give the name 'panic disorder' to this condition? or do you mean who was the first person to actually 'develop' panic disorder?? Panic disorder is when a person has been suffering one month or more from panic attacks, and has been worried about the reoccurance of these attacks. I should think that people have been suffering from this disorder for many years - particuarly stressed people or perfectionists. The term panic disorder is just a follow on from panic attacks. No-one 'discovered' panic attacks or panic disorder. You make it sound like the discovery of a new unfound island or country!

Can you have quiet panic attacks?

I certainly have... Many times, but not always with my own panic attacks I would have uncontrollable itching after the uncontrollable heart racing had begun to settle. Itching was normally in the extremities (hands and feet). I believe it has something to do with the rapid fluctuation in blood pressure...
