From Katharina Star, your Guide to Panic Disorder
Panic disorder is marked by persistent and recurring panic attacks. These attacks have many frightening symptoms, including chest pain, shortness of breath, and trembling. However, panic attacks are treatable. Learn more about the signs and symptoms of panic attacks.

What is a Panic Attack?
Panic attacks can be described as sudden feelings of fear or terror that outweigh any actual threat. These attacks also encompass strong emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations. However, not all panic attacks are alike. Find out more about the different types and common symptoms of panic attacks.

Chest Pain Symptoms and Panic Disorder
Chest pain is a common physical symptom for people who suffer with persistent panic attacks. Many people who experience chest pain during a panic attack are understandably alarmed and may even be sent to the nearest emergency room. However, many times the chest pain turns out not to be a serious medical concern. Listed here is information on the differences between typical and atypical chest pain associated with panic attacks.

Shortness of Breath: Panic Disorder and Hyperventilation
Shortness of breath is another common and often frightening physical symptom of panic attacks. During an attack, you may feel as though you are choking or smothering. Despite these seemingly dangerous sensations, hyperventilation during a panic attack is normally not life threatening. Find out more information concerning shortness of breath that occurs during panic attacks.
