How can I tell if I'm suffering from a panic attack?

The first step in recognizing a panic attack is to pay attention to your physical sensations. Pay close attention to any changes in heart rate, breathing, or sweating. You may also notice feelings of fear or dread, as well as an overwhelming sense of impending doom. If you experience these symptoms and they last for more than a few minutes, it's likely that you are having a panic attack.
