Q: What Exactly Does a Panic Attack Feel Like ?

Hi everyone - im new to this forum.

Quick history ~ I am a 24 year old male , suffereing from ptsd as a reult from a attempted homicide by a gang of people 3 years ago , nothing has ever been the same.

Anyway , just thought -

i occasionally suffer from a "attack" of sorts. Its a brief onset which I can feel "coming on" , and dosent seem to have any trigger (mental or pyhsical)
i simply feel a slight push of adrenelin , slight pain in my heart/chest area ~ then my sinus's begin to pressurize all through my head and I have to move about somehow....It can be the most incredible feeling (not exactly pain) but I cope by calming down and restricting my breath etc...After I feel slightly dizzy .
It has been happening for a few years now... Is this a anxiety attack or something else ?!
