Limited symptom attack

For example, a sudden episode of intense dizziness or trembling accompanied by fear that something terrible is about to happen.

Many people with panic disorder have a mixture of full blown and limited symptom attacks.

However, experiencing an LSA is not necessarily indicative of mental illness.

As with a panic attack, an LSA typically peaks in 10 minutes.

However, attacks can be as short as one to five minutes or can form a series of episodes waxing and waning for a period of hours.
