Symptoms of Panic Disorders
Panic Disorder is a type of anxiety disorder that can affect many areas of life. Panic disorder is characterized by intense fear of something bad happening. The primary symptom is severe panic attacks that begin suddenly and often last 10-20 minutes or more. Panic disorder is often linked to high levels of general anxiety. Symptoms of anxiety disorders include a near-constant presence of worry or nervousness, even when there is no obvious reason to be worried.
Often times panic attacks result in a physical response such as chest pain, dizziness, trembling, hyperventilation, sweating, chills, nausea, and numbness. For some people, a panic attack can feel like a heart attack. Panic attacks tend to last between 10 and 20 minutes. After the first attack, many people fear having another panic attack, which can trigger subsequent episodes. A panic disorder disrupts a person’s ability to follow routines such as going to work.

Getting the help you need also establishes a medical record of your condition, which can be used to prove that you are disabled to the Social Security Administration.
