A member asked:

Can panic attacks present in other ways not just the "typical" ones? i don't get rapid breathing etc but all of other things like palps impending doom

A doctor has provided 1 answer

YES: There are some similarities that occur with panic attacks but you do not have all of the same symptoms. Palpitations and a feeling of impending doom are common features as well. Try relaxation, deep breathing, meditation, yoga and/or see a therapist.
