Psychological Disorder (Panic Attack)
Everyone has experienced anxiety, or psychological tension. The tension could come from fear or even from waiting to hear something of importance. However, some people have anxiety that is not related to normal cases of the tension and therefore have a disorder.
In particular, a panic disorder is where a person has uncontrollable and reoccurring panic attacks. Panicking is generally linked with intense fear and oftentimes people who have these panic attacks feel as if they are being doomed and even dying. Most panic attacks only last for a few minutes. However, some cases of panic attacks have been known to last several hours.
The noticeable symptoms found while one is suffering a panic attack include sweating and shaking. Other symptoms are things such as chest pain, dizziness, losing control, and fear of dying or going crazy. Some people who suffer from panic attacks describe the feeling as having a heart attack.
