I get them. Even before pregnancy. It depends on the person as to what symptoms you have. You can have breathing issues, chest tightness, almost like a heart attack feeling. Your mind can race and not stop, you can become very anxious and jittery as well. It is no fun. I have medicine for it but cannot take while pregnant. So I go to my bed and lay down with no noise and take long deep breaths. If my fiance is home he will hold me and that helps at times too. There are times when I can't be touched so I need to be alone or it makes it worse. Best thing is to call Dr and figure out a plan of action. Be it medication, breathing techniques, etc. Good luck.
