Panic Disorder Symptoms are sudden, intense and come with intense feelings of anxiety. Most of the symptoms attack unexpectedly and although they do not pose a real threat to our lives, the actual terror one endures whilst in the midst of an attack is quite severe. To see if you actually have a panic disorder check the following Panic Disorder Symptoms.

These symptoms and their classifications are taken from the Diagnostic Criteria from the DSM – IV

Panic Attacks – A Panic attack is a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort, in which four or more of the following symptoms developed abruptly and reached a peak within 10 minutes:

1.         Palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate.

2.         Sweating

3.         Trembling or shaking

4.         Sensations of shortness of breath or smothering

5.         Feelings of choking

6.         Chest pain or discomfort

7.         Nausea pain or discomfort

8.         Feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded or faint

9.         Derealization ( feelings of unreality ) or depersonalization ( being detached from oneself )

10.       Fear of losing control or going crazy

11.       Fear of dying

12.       Parenthesis ( numbness or tingling sensations )

Now please understand there is a difference between a panic attack and a panic disorder. If you have experienced a combination of 4 or more of the above symptoms in one instance that lasted in the region of about 10 minutes, you probably had a panic attack. You may have convinced yourself given the physical symptoms that it was a heart attack. Now a panic attack is a terrifying experience however, when it develops into a full blown disorder that can be a major problem.
