Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Persons with panic "false alarms" often experience intense physical and psychological symptoms during an attack, but do not necessarily have a diagnosed anxiety disorder. As a result, they may be more likely to seek medical attention, including visiting an emergency room. On the other hand, individuals with panic disorder and agoraphobia may have a fear of leaving their home or facing situations where they fear having a panic attack, which may prevent them from going to the hospital during an attack.
