A panic attack is an intense feeling of fear or dread that appears to come out of nowhere. It can sweep over its victim like wave of terror leaving them feeling like they have just survived a life threatening experience.
Often they feel as if they are “going crazy”, “losing their mind” , they are “having a heart attack” or that “something really bad is about to happen”. Some of the physical symptoms include:

• Feeling intensely anxious
• Breathing difficulties e.g. shortness of breath
• Feeling lightheaded and/or nauseous
• Tingles or chills
• Trembling or shaking
• Chest pains or a tight feeling in the chest.
