What are the signs for an anxiety attack?

Fight or flight: Can be short of breath / hyperventilating, tunnel vision, dizziness, rapid pulse, sweating shaking, etc., usually in the absence of any fear producing stimulus. Find a therapist who specializes in exposure based therapy for panic and anxiety.
