Whats exactly is a ‘panic attack’ and what are the symptoms?

Q: Last night, i was woken up at about midnight because some kids were outside my house, yelling, fighting, etc. To be completely honest, i was pissed off, because i had to be up in a few hours. I went outside yelling at them, then went back inside, mad as ever. I layed back down. Then my cheast really started to hurt, and i felt heart palpitations. I could tell my heart was racing, and it hurt. It took me a good deal to calm down and fall asleep. Is this a panic attack or something? This has never happened to me before

A: been there………you didnt have a panic attack, but your blood pressure most likely sky rocketed!!! The result is chest pains, shortness of breath, kinda tight around your chest. You were pissed, REALLY pissed.
