It can happen to anyone regardless of age, health and status. Many attacks are a one-time occurrence, but some people experience recurring episodes.<\/p>\n<p>Recurring episodes are often caused by a \u201ctrigger\u201d like speaking in front of a crowd or doing a presentation at work. Panic attacks may be a part of another disorder such as depression, panic disorder, or social phobia.<\/p>\n<p>These, however, are generally harmless, but sufferers still feel that their life is in danger. Either way, panic attacks are treatable.<\/p>\n<h3>Signs and Symptoms of a Panic Attack<\/h3>\n<p>A panic attack can happen anytime, but it usually happens when you are away from home. You may be at a store shopping, at work preparing for a presentation, in a class, driving, walking down the street or even during asleep.<\/p>\n<p>The signs and symptoms develop quickly and usually arrive at its peak in 10 minutes.

And there is almost no reason to be concerned if you have one or two episodes. But those who have experienced several episodes usually develop panic disorder.<\/p>\n<p>Recurring panic attacks along with persistent anxiety for future attacks and major changes in behavior can be considered as panic disorder. There are two symptoms of panic disorder: (1) phobic avoidance and (2) anticipatory anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>Phobic avoidance \u2013 When you begin to avoid certain things or situations based on the belief that it would trigger another attack. It can also be avoiding situations that have caused the previous attack. You may also avoid places or situations where escape is difficult and help is unavailable, like riding an elevator or an airplane. Extreme case of phobic avoidance may lead to agoraphobia.<\/p>\n<p>Anticipatory anxiety The \u201cfear of fear\u201d or the fear of having future panic attacks.
