is this a form of panic?

[Butterfly22]

Sometimes I find that when Im in anxious situations, a rush of emotion will overwhelm me and Im in tears and it takes a long time to calm down.. I was just wondering if this is a type of panic attack? since it happens quite suddenly...

Most people by a panic attack mean physical symptoms such as increased heart rate/palpiations, shaking, sweating, etc. Not sure that's actually considered an attack but it's definately anxiety that's causing it and i've had it before.
