It can never be emphasized enough that a panic attack should be unmistakably classified
. If unable to tell what the symptoms are pointing at exactly, it is important to seek medical attention. Never self-medicate. If there is another illness, self-care at home is not advisable. Moreover, even if there is already an assurance that the person is prone to having panic episodes, but shows new symptoms that he or she didn't have before, applying techniques in managing panic attack at home is not appropriate. He or she should see the doctor as soon as possible.
