If you are trying to find information regarding the signs symptoms of panic attacks you might come across list of a lot of different symptoms. There are hundreds of them. Many of the symptoms of an anxiety attack will mimic or resemble what you might think of as a different illness for example, an asthma attack or possibly a heart attack.

You have to be careful in self-diagnosing a panic or anxiety attack because they are non-life threatening, but the heart attack or asthma attack could have dire consequences. You see, a panic attack is similar to our body fight or flight response. If we are faced with a fearful situation our adrenalin and stress hormones elevate and our bodies react with symptoms of panic or anxiety.

What makes an anxiety or panic attack different than fight or flight is that we are not exposed to any real threat and the symptoms can spontaneously appear. If you experience an attack while driving for instance you run the risk of associating driving a car with your last panic attack. There is a real danger of developing a fear of driving in response to you subconsciously trying to avoid experiencing another anxiety attack.
