Here's a short lesson on panic attacks.
You have had a panic attack four (or more) of the following symptoms developed abruptly and reached a peak within 10 minutes.
--Palpitations, and/or accelerated heart rate
--Dry heaving, and/or gagging
--Sweating
--Trembling or shaking
--Sensations of shortness of breath or being smothered
--Feeling of choking
--Chest pain or discomfort
--Nausea or abdominal distress
--Feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint
--De-realization (feelings of unreality) or derpersonalization (being detached from oneself)
--Fear of losing control or going insane
--Sense of impending death
--Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations)
--Chills or hot flashes
A panic attack is not
--Being nervous for a test
--Freaking out because you embarrassed yourself
--Your heart skipping a beat because you failed a test or forgot homework
--Feeling light headed before you perform
--Any other example of nervousness or embarrassment you can think of
So, can we please stop throwing the term panic attack around like it's some sort of cute thing to have, because it isn't. Having a panic attack is terrifying, no matter how many times you have one, and people who suffer from panic disorder certianly don't see it as a cute and quirky character trait.
