A panic attack feels: Like you are going to die, so easy to spot once physical issues have been ruled out.

May not the 1st time: Panic attacks present with anxiety and physical symptoms resulting from overactivity of the nervous system(autonomic). May present with symptoms of chest tightness, difficulty breathing, dizziness, numbness, hot flushes, sweating etc. These symptoms may make one feel that they are having a heart attack the first time they experience this.
