What are the symptoms of a panic/anxiety attack?

and what do you experience during one?

I think I’ve had a panic attack before, well actually I think I’ve had several in the past few years. But how do you know?

All the symptoms previously listed are the results of the panic attack, but what is the cause of it? I have what is called a "General Anxiety Disorder" which simply means I had a poor self image which caused self anxiety.) What I’ve learned about the meds used for panic attacks is that Xanax works best and is very addictive physically and psychologically. Then valium, then clonazapam, both of which work and are not as addictive, but don’t feel as good as Xanax. So if you like to get high stay away from Xanax unless you have incredible self control. If these continue please see a doctor and/or a therapist.

    There are a broad range of symptoms and you can have any combination… off the top of my head:
    heart rate is up
    breathing is up
    pressure on chest
    sense of impending doom
