When I get a panic attack the first thing I feel is a strong sense of deja-vu and derealisation like I'm in a dream. Then I get the deer in headlights sensation. Then comes the hot flash with sweating (even if I'm outside and it's in the 30's) And through it all extreme fear that I'm losing my mind that stays with me a good hour or two after the initial attack. It seems I have them on a monthly cycle. I'll have them for 2-3 days and they'll go away for about a month. I usually think I'm cured during this "remission" just for them to come back a little later with a vengence. The only thing that really helps me cope is talking to a few trusted friends/family about my concerns. Another thing that makes me feel a little better is finding out I'm not the only one that goes through these things. GL with your anxiety/panic attacks. I'll pray for you if you pray for me.
