And sufferers often worry that they might have a serious physical condition, or worse still, a mental illness… that they might be going mad. What’s worse is the panic attacks often come out of the blue with no obvious situation or event triggering them. Many liken the experience to feeling like they are about to die. As I said: incredibly physically uncomfortable.Īs well as the physical discomfort, there’s the intense emotional fear that accompanies panic attacks. If the attack continues for a long time, parts of your body might start to feel numb or cramped, and your fingers might even curl up uncontrollably into a claw shape. You might feel dizzy, and, if upright, sometimes fall onto the floor. You might have the urge to vomit or go to the toilet. You start breathing hard and fast, and feel like you are suffocating from lack of air, so you breathe harder.

Symptoms vary a bit, but typically they start with a flutter in the belly or heart, ora woozy movement in the stomach, which can make you, the sufferer, feel sick. That’s because panic attacks are pretty horrible experiences on so many levels.įirstly they are incredibly uncomfortable physically. If you’ve ever had a panic attack, you’ve probably spent a lot of time and energy since worrying about when and where you are going to have another one.
