A panic attack is a sudden episode of intense fear that triggers severe physical reactions when there is no real danger or apparent cause. Panic attacks can be very frightening. When panic attacks occur, you might think you're losing control, having a heart attack or even dying.
Many people have just one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, and the problem goes away, perhaps when a stressful situation ends. But if you've had recurrent, unexpected panic attacks and spent long periods in constant fear of another attack, you may have a condition called panic disorder.

Although panic attacks themselves aren't life-threatening, they can be frightening and significantly affect your quality of life. But treatment can be very effective.
Symptoms
Panic attacks typically begin suddenly, without warning. They can strike at any time — when you're driving a car, at the mall, sound asleep or in the middle of a business meeting. You may have occasional panic attacks, or they may occur frequently.

Panic attacks have many variations, but symptoms usually peak within minutes. You may feel fatigued and worn out after a panic attack subsides.

Panic attacks typically include some of these signs or symptoms:

Sense of impending doom or danger
Fear of loss of control or death
Rapid, pounding heart rate
Sweating
Trembling or shaking
Shortness of breath or tightness in your throat
Chills
Hot flashes
Nausea
Abdominal cramping
Chest pain
Headache
Dizziness, lightheadedness or faintness
Numbness or tingling sensation
Feeling of unreality or detachment
Causes
It's not known what causes panic attacks or panic disorder, but these factors may play a role:
Causes
Genetics
Major stress
Temperament that is more sensitive to stress or prone to negative emotions
Certain changes in the way parts of your brain function

I know many of us had panick attack without letting any one know about it mine was when i was 15 I started developing fear for no reason, I was just afraid for no reason my heart beat increased, for more than 2months I can't sleep, I can't eat well, my brother had his own around 13 or 14yrs old when he was bitten by dog and he suffered panick attack for nearly a year, he told me he was thinking he will die even after assuring him that nothing will happen to him, he still have the fear in him.... I summoned courage to tell my father about my fears he then told me that it also happened to him so I think mine is genetic....
I think panic attack should be taught in schools so students will know about it and how to manage it
