Symptoms of a Panic Attack- Panic Attack Symptoms You Need to Know
Having a panic attack can be scary. Even worse, not knowing the symptoms of a panic attack can be scarier. So, what I'm going to do is share with you the symptoms of panic attacks. That way, you will know what to do when you have an attack.
I'm going to breakdown the symptoms into three categories The categories are perceptual symptoms of a panic attack, physical symptoms of a panic attack, and mental symptoms of a panic attack.
Perceptual Symptoms of a Panic Attack
When you experience a panic attack, your perception becomes altered. Your perception of yourself and the world becomes drastically altered, which leaves you feeling like the time is slowing down and speeding up, you began having tunnel vision, and your senses become heightened.
Physical Symptoms of a Panic Attack
The physical symptoms are the most recognizable of all the symptoms of panic attacks. The physical symptoms are tightness in your chest and increase heart rate. The tightness in your chest could lead to heart palpitations, hyperventilation, dizziness, and headaches.
The tightness in your stomach could lead to nausea and stomach pains.
Mental Symptoms of a Panic Attack
People who have a panic attack usually experience severe mental symptoms. You will experience irrational thinking or having racing thoughts, which leaves you feeling like things around you aren't real, feeling like you're going insane, and feeling like something bad is going to happen to you.
These are the symptoms of a panic attack. If you notice that you are having these symptoms, you should to do something about it. Not doing anything about it will cause your attacks to get worse.

Panic attack or anxiety attack?
Currently I'm feeling very anxious. At times this anxiety peeks and my palms get sweaty and my heart starts racing like I'm having a panic attack. I've never had a panic attack before and I'm 16. I have a bad fear of being ill forever and I've currently been sick for 3 weeks, making me think things like I am never going to get better. These thoughts freak me out and I think they're what started it all. But in addition to this, I have a feeling of unreality. Like I'm living in a dream. i know this is a symptom of a panic attack, but I also know that panic attacks are intense and random. I have constant anxiety even when I'm not thinking of my sickness. Does this mean I'm having anxiety or panic attacks?

I heard a scary voice in my head?
This was a couple months ago, and it was during my first panic attack- I heard creepy high pitched voice that said "Welcome to the underworld." It scared me so much and I still think about what it could have possibly meant or if it was nothing. Any ideas?
Also I don't know if hearing voices are just a part of the symptoms of a panic attack but I haven't heard any voices during any other one. Help would be mucho appreciated. Thanks
