How can i tell the difference between panic attack or asthma?

You will know: And asthma there's a feeling of tightness in the chest with wheezing and inability to get air. The symptoms are limited to that plus some anxiety that will surround that feeling. With a panic attack, the feeling of anxiety is so intense that it is impossible to mistake it for anything else other than perhaps a heart attack. The feeling comes on suddenly and can last anywhere from minutes to hours and can include virtually every organ system in the body. It is not something that is limited to the respiratory system. I hope that explainsthe difference for you. If you have any further questions i would look at the symptoms of panic disorder as found on wikipedia.Com. Type in panic disorder and will find a nice article that explains thisvery well. Best wishes.
