Panic attack: A full panic attack is s sudden, "out of the blue" experience of intense fear and feeling that one is going to go crazy or die, accompanied by physical symptoms like rapid heart rate, bounding pulse, smothering sensation, dizziness/lightheadedness, chills or heat flush, tingling sensation, & chest pressure or pain, etc. It peaks within a few minutes & dissipates over ~30min. There is help!
