I had my first panic attack about three months ago. Nearly asleep one night I awoke with a pounding heart followed by shortness of breath, nausea, diarrea, tingling in arms and legs(thought I was having a stroke!), followed by a day of gas and bloating. I worried about having another attack and did have a couple more before I went to my doctor. Have been on ativan and now 20mg of paxil. Doctor said I need to be on it for six months to lessen the chance of a reoccurrence.I feel much better but still worry about having another one even though I haven't had one in more than a month.
