re: What does a panic attack feel like?

I started getting them after my brother passed. Like others have said, tunnel vision, shortness of breath, a feeling of disconnect, and basically freaking the frick out went with mine.

They put me on a small dosage of Ativan to take as needed. For awhile I took it daily then gradually tapered off it. I've maybe had to take one in the last year.

Basically, go to your doc.
