This study clarifies the panic attack phenomenon by sequencing symptoms. Panic symptoms were grouped into early, intermediate, and late stages based on temporal relationships.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Neurology
  • Clinical Psychology

Background:

  • Extensive research exists on the pathophysiology of panic attacks.
  • Limited studies have focused on describing the subjective experience and temporal progression of panic attacks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the phenomenon of panic attacks by clarifying the temporal sequence of symptoms.
  • To categorize panic symptoms based on their occurrence during an attack.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-one patients experiencing panic attacks were interviewed.
  • Participants were asked to sequence their panic-related symptoms during an attack.

Main Results:

  • Panic symptoms were successfully grouped into three distinct temporal categories: early, intermediate, and late.

  • Early symptoms included dyspnea, palpitations, chest discomfort, and hot flashes.
  • Intermediate symptoms comprised shaking, choking, feelings of unreality, sweats, faintness, and dizziness, followed by late symptoms of fear and paresthesias.

    • Conclusions:

    • The study provides a temporal framework for understanding panic attack symptom progression.
    • This symptom sequencing offers a clearer description of the panic phenomenon.
    • Findings contribute to a better understanding of the subjective experience of panic attacks.
