People often fear being judged and humiliated when they have had a panic attack. However, have a look at Nate experiencing a panic attack while speaking live on TV. He coped extremely well and most people would not likely notice much was wrong. Even if someone watching thought "oh what's up with Nate?" or "Hmm, something's wrong with Nate." Is that so bad? Panic attacks pass but the fear of judgement often stays longer. Yet, this example shows us, you really don't need to worry about what you looked like because most people probably didn't notice (or are not judging negatively you) anyway.

Popular ABC weatherman Nate Byrne has today opened up about a private battle with anxiety, revealing that he has in the past suffered several debilitating panic attacks while live on-air.

What do panic attacks feel like?

Panic attacks feel as though someone has suddenly pressed a terror button inside your body. One minute you may be feeling ok or a little bit anxious, and the next you are consumed with bodily symptoms that you seem to have no control over.

It usually comes on very rapidly and peaks within about 10 minutes. Different people experience different symptoms, some describe a lot and others just a few. The most common symptoms that people tell me that they are notice are: chest tightness, feeling as though they can’t breathe, heart pounding or fast heart rate, shaking, feeling hot, dizziness, and nausea and sweating.

However, other symptoms people describe with their panic attacks include:
- Chest pain
- A sense of helplessness
- Feeling frozen
- Dry mouth
- Muscle tension
- Pale skin
- Feeling that you are disconnected from yourself or reality
- Feeling unsteady on your legs,
- Cold, pale skin.
