Irregular breathing, irregular heartbeat, feeling of detachment (thanks to a dissociative disorder), bloating and nausea (but I have IBS), trembling and dizziness, and of course the general feelings of helplessness and futility.
Oh! And in some situations, I rash up.

During a panic attack:
Rapid heartbeat
Chest pain
Hyperventilation
Numbness and tingling in lips, fingers and arms
Fear of dying
In the days leading up to or after an attack:
Trembling
Weakness
Dizziness
Feelings of detachment
Palpitations
General discomfort
Abdominal cramps
Shortness of breath
I get a really "spacey" feeling and then I get very dizzy. That's usually about it, lots of dizziness and the feeling that I am losing it.
