Hi Katie. Panic attacks feel like you are about to have a heart attack and die. Your heart starts bumping, one has shortness of breath, you cannot breath well, the blood gets to your upper part of the body so you do not feel the legs or feel them tickling. You feel extreme fear. Panic attacks are caused by an unbalance in brain neurotrasmiters. The spiritual explanation is that the person has a spirit attached to his aura, that once in a while attacks. The body protective response is what one feels like a panic attack. They can happened wherever and whenever. Argentox2@yahoo.com

You know how you feel when you get scared so bad by something? Lets say you were home alone and you saw a shadowy figure out of the corner of your eye. Well your heart starts to race and your body feels hot and tingly all over and you start to panic and freak out so bad you are paralyzed. That's how it feels. For me, I feel like I'm going mad and I start breathing really heavy. A lot of times I will wake up in the middle of the night and have one. Once it was so bad it made me throw up!

My panic attack was very stressing. It was a sharp chest pain, and numbing sensation much like that of a heart attack, which I also have survived. However, with the panic attack I did not lose conciousness. I just needed to remove myself from the stressful situation and relax.

i have suffered from panic attacks when i was dealing with post partum depression. they are not pleasant. you feel very overwhelmed and almost claustophobic at a moments notice. you suddenly feel a rush of unpleasant energy and you are not able to focus. i had heart palpitations and difficulty breathing. you should see a dr. if you think you are experiencing them.

its like its the end of the world and you are dying. its like you are separate from reality in a way. there is this impending sense of doom and fear in a way that i cant even describe. you cant breathe--you want to run away from the fear, but cant. and its more than fear--for me its sheer terror like i cant explain. i hate having them. i have been suffering from panic disorder since 1996
