I suffer with panic attacks reglaury (sp)and when i have them i'm usually panicy to start with before an actual attack.
So in the build up to one i get hot, have a nervous stomach, feel sick, light headed, my breathing becomes more shallow, when i feel these symtoms i read magazines, do puzzle books, watch my comfort dvds which is Friends at the mo.
In a full blown attack all the symptoms intensify, i hyperventalate, feel like i will be sick (though i never am), my heart pounds, and sometimes if it's really really dreadful i get suisidal thoughts and really want to kill myself, although once it has passed those suisidal feelings go too.
Also, aswel as feeling hot, i always feel cold too and extremely stiff and shakey at the same time. My jaw goes really stiff and i shake uncontrolably, sometimes when it is a extremely bad panic attack then i will violently shake.
I will also have a dry mouth and throat.
If i have a panic attack i do all my comfort things again which helps to distract and calm me down.
Having a panic attack is different to just feeling panicy, i can get really panicy but it doesnt always develop into a panic attack.

Everything the person below said, plus hyperventelating, and, if your having a panic attack, you feel like youre in extreme danger.

dizziness, sweats, not just the under arms but all over, like the palms, stomach pain, blurred vision, weird thoughts in your head. If you are having a panic attack on the scale of 1 to 10 it's possible that a 10 will make you faint.
