Physical Symptoms

 Members,
 
The physical symptoms of panic attacks may be familiar to some of you. For others, here are some of the symptoms you may experience:

 

Terror – a sense that something unimaginably horrible is about to happen and one is powerless to prevent it

Racing or pounding heartbeat

Chest pains

Dizziness, light-headedness, nausea

Difficulty breathing

Tingling or numbness in the hands

Flushes or chills

Sense of unreality

Fear of losing control, going "crazy," or doing something embarrassing

Fear of dying

If this is your first panic attack, it is always wise to seek medical attention to rule out any medical causes to your symptoms.

 Although the attacks only last a few minutes, the rebound effects and the recovery time after an attack can last a few hours. We now invite our members to share their best tips for rebounding after a panic attack.
