Symptom #8: Shortness of Breath or Hyperventilation
These are classical symptoms of a panic attack; the patient usually finds it difficult to breath without any reason to justify the symptom.
Hyperventilation is also quite common, and it may cause the patient to lose consciousness. During a panic attack, it is helpful to breath into a paper bag to prevent a fainting episode. If you are suffering from panic attacks, you should book a consultation with a physician to properly diagnose your condition.
