It is important to understand that not all of this symptoms will lead to anxiety attack disorder. There were many studies done in order to understand the causes of panic attacks and to find a better treatment for panic attacks.

1)Fear

Fear is one of the major symptoms of mild anxiety attack. It is not the usual form of fear that we mostly are aware of, but some creeping feeling that you can hardly stop thinking about it. In fact, before the fear reaches to your conscious level, it slinks your subconscious mind. In other words, the fear is actually submerged and it influences you from a deeper level of understanding.

2)Heart Palpitation

This is another uncomfortable condition and one of the most important symptoms of mild anxiety attack. You find your heart has become a racing heart and sometimes it becomes really hard to get a control over the beats. The symptoms of mild anxiety attack become apparent due to the adrenalin secretion in the body. Although adrenalin secretion is good for body sometimes, preparing it for ‘flight or fight’, excessive secretion may lead to real complications.

3)Dizziness and Light Headaches

These are significant symptoms of mild anxiety attack. You may feel a detachment from reality. It seems like you are belonging somewhere else and you are supposed to search for the way to get rid off the surroundings. Since nothing seems real and everything has got changed, you feel again a sense of anxiety of foreign presence, leading you to experience more panic attack in time.

4)Intense Feeling of Danger

Individuals with panic attack experience an intense feeling of danger. This is one of the most remarkable symptoms of mild anxiety attack. Many researchers believe that an individual with panic attack may have developed an idea of perceived danger to such extent that he may consider himself weak, while the world is a powerful and threatening place to survive. The individual perceives that he is going to die soon which eventually turns the condition more worse.

5)Feeling of Helplessness

An individual having panic attack finds himself helpless which intensifies the problem to greater extent. Since an intense feeling of helplessness at one hand and an urge to survive from perceived danger from the other, the individual experiences unusual conflict which leads him to experience more acute shortness of breath on time. This slowly shifts the condition from mild to severe, leading the condition more critical for the sufferer.
