Many people are suffering from panic attacks without knowing about it.
There are not many sources of information about the condition, and that is the most common reason for someone not to look for cures for panic attacks even if they are clearly having them.
In a large number of the cases the person suffering from this condition is not even aware of having them since the symptoms are so physical - it is hard to believe that it could be something psychological.
Most of the patients who have these attacks end up rushing in the emergency room or calling an ambulance because they think that they are having a heart attack.
The very first symptoms usually come out from nowhere, in a every day situation.
It can start with dizziness or tingling of skin and this can make the person think that they are about to lose consciousness.
After this might follow trouble breathing and pain inside the chest.
It should be noted that all of these are not real symptoms but something that is made up by our head.
Normally there is a large adrenaline rush produced by the adrenaline gland at the same time, and that is what causes hot flashes and the skin to turn red.
It is normal for someone who is experiencing these attacks to think that they are about to die, or that something terrible is going to happen to them in a moment.
Once they realise that everything is all right, the attack is usually over also.
