There are many different symptoms that can occur during a panic attack, but here are four common signs:
- Rapid heartbeat: During a panic attack, your heart rate may increase significantly, which can feel like your heart is pounding or racing.
- Shortness of breath: You may feel like you can’t catch your breath or like you’re suffocating. This can be a very frightening sensation.
- Sweating: Panic attacks can cause excessive sweating, even if you’re not doing anything physically strenuous.
- Feeling of intense fear or dread: Panic attacks are often accompanied by a sense of impending doom or a feeling that something terrible is about to happen. This feeling can be overwhelming and difficult to control.
