Even though a panic attack & an anxiety attack is the same thing, it doesn’t mean it isn’t terrifying all the same. I was witness to my wife suffering a panic attack while at the wheel of our car. It’s the understatement of a lifetime to say I was scared!

Probably the number 1 symptom to look out for in anxiety attacks is shortness of breath coupled with a rapid heartbeat. Often these symptoms start for no know reason. Then they quickly move to an almost mortifying fear of dread.
