A panic attack is a sudden period of intense anxiety, physiological arousal, fear, and discomfort. While panic attacks affect people differently, victims often experience a strong feeling that they are dying or experiencing a heart attack.MayoClinic.com: Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder
The reason why only certain people are affected by panic attacks is still unclear. Genetics and stress are believed to play a part. However, it is a mystery why many individuals have panic attacks when danger is not present.MayoClinic.com: Panic Attacks and Panic Disorder: Causes

Tips for Dealing with a Panic Attack
- Anxiety and panic attacks are often triggered by the anticipation of what could happen. Focus your thoughts on the present. Staying in the present instead of entertaining the "what ifs" will help lower the level of anxiety.
- Practice deep breathing and relaxation techniques, like those found in yoga and meditation methods. Slowing your breathing will not magically get rid of the panic attack but it will help you work through it.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol and illicit drugs. They can all trigger panic attacks or make them worse.
- Get moving with light aerobic exercise to help calm your mood.
- Accept that the panic attack is just that...panic. You can still function with feelings of anxiety and panic.
- Don't feed the feelings of panic and anxiety. Reassure yourself, "I'm not going to die. I'm not losing my mind. It's just a panic attack. It will go away."
- Get the required amount of sleep. Being tired will only increase the feelings of anxiety and panic.
- Try not to associate a place, action or thing with your panic attacks. For instance, simply because you experienced an attack while in your car doesn't mean it will happen every time your enter the vehicle.It is not the place or thing that caused it. Making that association will lead to anticipation, which will only lead to further anxietyhttp://www.anxietyandstress.com/dealingwihpanicattacks.html
