Bascially at the time of an attack you feel like you are about to die.

It completely controls your life. You have to completely abandon what you are doing and go home or lie down. Sometimes you taste vomit in your mouth, sometimes your heart beats so fast you think it will burst, sometimes you get a hot flush or feel chilled to the bone.

It could happen in the cinema, in the supermarket or at a party- there is no pattern. Sometimes all the deep breathing in the world will not help. No amount of muscle relaxation will calm you down.

All that happens is you feel a growing sense of terror and feel people are now looking at you.

Should you let these attacks continue you may develop panic disorder which is an increasing frequency of attacks that completely controls your life.

Once you control your fear, you are well on the way to conqering this affliction. The trick is to want to have one.

Instead of dreading it, face your fear head on and want to have one every day…you will not be able to have one.

It is also a medical fact that a panic attack can never harm you and is not life threatening.

Very reassuring!
