Blackouts are not a characteristic of panic attacks per se, but the extreme mental and emotional stress could easily cause one to lose contact with the details of the "outside" world by disrupting the transfer into long-term memory, as can the dissociation that sometimes prevents sufferers from connecting with the reality around them.

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.
