9. Increased heart rate

The most frequently reported symptom of a panic attack is the rapid or irregular heartbeat. People report feeling as if their heart is pounding violently inside their chest. People who experience anxiety attacks may fear that they have a cardiological disorder. It should be noted that increased heart rate is a very normal physiological response to stress, and instead of becoming more anxious, a person should focus on steady breathing.
