I guess there is some similarity because the person is kind of "wired" or hyperactive with either one.
I never really thought of it, but I guess it's possible to have a panic attack during a manic episode. People can have panic attacks as part of other mental disorders, so it seems reasonable. I can't remember reading anything that said it wasn't possible.
I know for certain it's possible to have panic during an anxious or depressed episode because I have experienced both. I have had a few episodes where I was kind of giddy or euphoric and it seemed like mania; but this never lasted more than a few hours, so I don't think that qualifies as a true manic episode.
The DSM-IV does indicate that either depression or mania can include psychotic features. Psychotic features can either be mood-congruent or mood-incongruent. For example, if someone was manic and the psychosis included themes of being God, that would be mood-congruent, while themes of persecution would be mood-incongruent because it's not consistent with the euphoric mood of mania.
I am not trying to say you have psychotic features, but it just seems reasonable that someone could have mania with a panic attack--if it's possible to have mania with mood-incongruent psychotic features.

Nope, not at all. Mania includes irrationality, disorganized thinking, possibly paranoia, delusions, and hallucinations.
Anxiety can look like hypomania, but even there, there's a difference, the biggest one being that hypomania goes on and on. Anxiety attacks are transitory.

I have to take a small pill for stress each night, for I was having anxiety attacks to the point they thought I was having a heart attack.

hmmm.... I don't feel anxious when I'm in a manic mood. To the contrary, I feel sort of over-confident... like I can do ANYthing and EVERYthing is going to go well.
But then, I'm never too high; and of course I've never experienced an anxiety attack.
Why do you think they're the same?

Anxiety attacks don't last days at a time.
