Heart-Pounding
Another physical symptom of panic disorder and panic attack is heart pounding. You might feel that your heart is beating so quickly and strongly in these cases, which would also lead to shooting pain in some surrounding areas, such as head, neck, and chest. In fact, many people cannot differentiate between the symptoms of a panic attack and a heart attack because they are very similar. This could be extremely scary. To reduce the intensity, lie down and take a deep breath until the pain disappears. In most cases, the attack often goes away in a few minutes. [2]
