Panic attacks are alot more common than people like to think. In fact, many of us could have a panic attack without actually knowing what’s really going.

Here are the signs to spot:

Heart palpitations
Heart palpitations are a common symptom of panic attacks. Your heart may increase suddenly and start racing for no reason. Take deep breaths to clam yourself.

Feeling detached
If you are starting to feel like you are becoming a little detached from your surroundings tell someone. This can be feelings of isolation or simply feeling like the world is not real. When you start to feel like this, speak out and tell someone.

Shaking
Shaking is another sign that you are having a panic attack. This can range from feeling slightly dizzy or unsteady  to severe trembling. Grab a seat before you fall down.

Sweating
Suddenly breaking out into a cold sweat is another sign that you are having a panic attack. Sit down, breath and try to relax.
