Panic disorder is an anxiety disorder characterized by unexpected episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms that may include chest pain, racing heartbeat, shortness of breath or dizziness. Panic is not necessarily brought on by an identifiable circumstance. However, excessive stress or other negative life events can trigger an attack.
