Panic Attack

A panic attack is an uncontrollable, abrupt feeling of fear or worry that results in physical symptoms including perspiration, a racing heart, and rapid breathing. Some persons experience panic disorder, which is a form of anxiety disorder, as a result of their extreme fear of these attacks. When you worry excessively about having another panic attack or alter your behavior to prevent one, panic disorder may develop. Panic attacks can be controlled with counselling and therapy.
