For instance, it is very common for people to show up at the emergency room with what they believe to be a heart attack the first time they experience panic attack symptoms. It's not that these people are being paranoid, until the tests have been done and a heart problem is ruled out, the doctors usually think it's a heat attack as well.
In addition to the chest pain, common symptoms of panic attacks are:
-
Rapid heart beat.
-
Dizziness.

Hyperventilation.

Stomach pain or nausea.

Vomiting.

Sweating.
