What Halx says definately makes sense, cause it happened to me. My first panic attack was the scariest because i didn't know what it was, and I ended up in the ER (it really sucked cause i was in truck by myself on a back country road - I was 99.9% sure i was "checkin out") stopped at the nearest payphone and called an ambulance. Anway - after that i started experiencing really frequent episodes of "depersonalization", which in turn started other "panic attacks." It was a full year of me fighting to keep my sanity / stay alive, whatever...and at least another two years that but not as constant. Luckily they have subsided and the panic attacks only happen every few months (and not nearly as severe), but i'm dreadin the day they resurface.
