Signs of a Panic Attack Test Results

This quiz examines whether you're experiencing common signs of a panic attack or a milder version of a panic attack known as a "limited symptom attack." The results below can help you better understand your score and potential panic attack treatment recommendations.

Your results on this quiz can offer valuable insight into your current symptoms. Depending on your score, attack treatment may be recommended, in which case please remember that seeking help is a courageous step towards improving your mental well-being.

Your responses suggest that the symptoms you’re experiencing are NOT typical of a panic attack. Physical signs of a panic attack can include trouble breathing, chest pain, sweating, or dizziness to name just a few. Before beginning treatment for any anxiety-related condition, it’s recommended to discuss these physical symptoms with your doctor first, to rule out possible medical causes,

Since your symptoms don't seem to be typical signs of a panic attack, panic attack treatment is not recommended. Other types of anxiety conditions can also cause similar symptoms.

Fortunately, they are also just as treatable.
