My gradual symptoms were feeling of intense rage or fear, followed by my neck tightening, my heart racing, and palms sweating. I never addressesd these problems, so I had panic attacks shortly after. They are feelings of severe fear (no obvious reason for me), tingling all over, rapid heartbeat, nausea, diarrhea, headache, you name it. I felt as if I was having a heart attack or was dying of some dreadful disease. Finally, my dr. did all the necessary tests (Echocardiogram, thyroid, and full blood panel) and there was nothing wrong with me. It took a while to accept it was anxiety, but I was put on Lexapro and Xanax and now, a year later, I am so so much better. Researching books about anxiety and panic attacks has helped tremendously, along with seeing my psychiatrist. Good luck.

Sweaty hands, faster breathing, much faster heart beat.
Those are symptoms of both. Panic attacks can be pretty extreme. The case where you should be concerned about it enough to consider medication is if, during a panic attack, you feel like you are having a heart attack and you are going to die. It may sound silly, but that is a real panic attack. If you haven’t experienced that, you might not be experiencing a panic attack (or at least not a serious one)

There pretty much the same thing, a panic attack is basically anxiety at its worst. Pretty much the most common symptoms are rapid heart rate, shortness of breath, and visible shaking. But early symptoms of anxiety are trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, trouble concentrating, more likely to get startled, and more irratible.
