Nearly one million adult Canadians have suffered some form of panic attack during their lives, a new study has found.
Based on data collected for the "2002 Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-being," Statistics Canada says about 3.7 per cent of people over the age of 15 have experienced recurrent, unexpected panic attacks.
Typified by symptoms such as chest pain, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath and palpitations, the agency notes the disorder can be both chronic and disabling. Sufferers may feel they are choking, losing control or "going crazy."
