Answers:
panic attacks should make u breathe quickly (tachypnea) which would upset ur acid/base balance.
u may get a headache and may even pass out.
that is why some people breathe into a paper bag, to breathe back in the CO2 exhaled.
when u breathe rapidly, u exhale CO2 which causes ur body to become alkalotic. by breathing into paper bag, u breathe back in the CO2.
it can cause bodily harm if u fall on something, lol.
otherwise, no.
just get some counseling.Health Question & Answer

A panic attack, would not cause you any bodily harm.
However, having a panic disorder for a long period of time can cause high levels of stress that can lead to medical problems, such as ulcers things like that, I would imagine even things like high blood pressure. If you can get the panic under control your physical well being would improve.
also, bodily harm caused by yourself could be a consequence of panic attacks, you should try to get help with the panic problems that you have.
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There's this strange herb called "St John's Wort" - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John's Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced... you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction... There are several other techniques to help cope them!

Nobody has ever died from a panic attack.
Your physical or mental body will not be affected by the panic attack... meaning, you won't go "crazy" and you won't have a heart attack. All it is, is your thoughts going out of control and going in an upward spiral. You just have to calm yourself down so you don't freak out even more.
They are horrible but there is treatment you can get to minimize your stress levels. and it really helps.Health Question & Answer
