10 Symptoms of a Panic Attack
Symptom #4: Trembling or Shaking
Trembling or shaking are additional panic attack symptoms. Trembling is caused by the activity of the elevated levels of adrenal hormones, especially adrenaline. This fight or flight hormone is produced to prepare the body for the necessary reaction.
But in a panic attack, there is no need to fight or run away. Therefore, the body finds ways to use up the hormone. Since it causes the sweating reaction, it may also cause trembling or shaking. The trembling or shaking reaction normally affects the hands, arms, legs and feet. To help your body get back to normal faster, calm yourself down by breathing slowly and drinking some water.
