You will find the list you want at the link below. You will also find much more there. When you click on the link you will go to the main page. You will then see a menu on the right. Click "symptoms" and the page will open. I will tell you that it seems the symptoms are the same for all panic attacks or panic disorders.

But here is the list:

Symptoms of a panic attack may include:

Rapid breathing (hyperventilation), shortness of breath, or feeling "smothered."
A pounding or racing heart or an irregular heartbeat.
Chest pain.
Lightheadedness.
Sweating.
A choking feeling.
Nausea or an upset stomach.
Dizziness, shaking, or trembling.
Numbness or tingling.
Chills or hot flashes.
Fear that you are going to die, lose control, or "go crazy."
Feelings of being detached from yourself or from reality.
===============================================

I also found this from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia involves intense fear and anxiety of any place or situation where escape might be difficult, leading to avoidance of situations such as being alone outside of the home; traveling in a car, bus, or airplane; or being in a crowded area.5

Approximately 1.8 million American adults age 18 and over, or about 0.8 percent of people in this age group in a given year, have agoraphobia without a history of panic disorder.1
The median age of onset of agoraphobia is 20 years of age.5

Agoraphobia is a panic disorder. ( fear of crowded situations, especially in spaces, where anxiety may escalate into panic attacks. )
The literal Greek translation is " A fear of marketplace "
It may lead to confinement at home due to the fear of being around too many other people.

Fear of crowds
Fear of public transport
Restriction to the home or neighborhood
Social isolation
Unable to leave home alone
Panic attacks

Seems like many references are made to Panic Attack Disorder too.

oh yes. you get panic attacks first. they seem to just come out of nowhere. whereever you have one (feeling totally terrified and out of control) you begin to fear being there, like if it happened driving, you avoid the car or it will happen again. eventually you have no "safe" places left except in your house, or a few enclosed areas. you fear being alone cause you feel insane and scared, but you fear going out the door, being in public. open areas with lots of people scare you and you feel like running away. big stores are impossible. in rooms you sit near the door to be near an escape route. you may feel like you're in a cartoon world or out of body when you panic. that's derealization or depersonalization and is horrible but not that uncommon. it can be overcome but you will need meds to calm down enough to brave out the 'bad' places again and get a normal life. it is NOT a major mental illness like schizophrenia, but it is very hard. good luck
