- What is a panic attack?
People often experience major physical symptoms during panic attack such as increased heart rate, dizziness, sweating, hyperventilation or feeling as though you are in a tunnel. People also describe having terrifying thoughts such as “I am dying” or “I am going to have a heart attack” even though this is not truly happening.
