Panic & Panic Attacks:

Panic Attacks include symptoms like heart palpitations, sweating, trembling, chest pain or discomfort, dizziness, fear of losing control or dying, chills or hot flushes, feelings of unreality or being detached from oneself, sensations of choking and numbness or tingling sensations. They can occur when an individual is in a place or situation in which he or she feels there is no escape. This is typically called Agoraphobia. When the attacks occur recurrently, the individual has constant concerns about having additional attacks and there is concern about the consequences of the attacks and there is a significant change in behavior as a result of the attacks, this is termed Panic Disorder Without Agoraphobia (DSM-IV).
