7 Paresthesia
This symptom can be defined as numbness or tingling sensations. During a panic attack, many people say they experience paresthesia in the fingers, hands, face, tongue, and feet.
Some people confuse this symptom with tremors, but these are very different symptoms. In paresthesia, the patient feels a tingle but the body doesn’t move, while in the tremors the movement of the extremities and body are evident.
8. Derealization and depersonalization
These symptoms are very important during a panic attack because they may help to detect a psychological disease.
The derealization means that the patient has feelings of unreality, in other terms, they think that what they’re experiencing is a dream or a fantasy.
On the other hand, depersonalization means that the patient feels detached from oneself, an out of body experience, seeing everything from the outside in a dreamlike, less real form.
These can be a very disturbing experiences, and if possible it would help to have friends or family close by for comfort until it passes.
