    Correction on the answer saying that you shouldn't get pain in the left arm with a panic attack. I wouldn't dare answer that question without being a professional in the field, but since someone else who isn't one either has, I feel compelled to clarify this in case someone with panic disorder feels even more scared after reading that you shouldn't get pain in the left arm if you have panic attacks. Actually, the power of suggestion is so strong that you can get pain almost anywhere. If you fear you're having a heart attack your unconscious mind will produce symptoms that make you think you are. It's how psychosomatic illnesses operate!
