Anxiety is the fear without any known threat. Just we imagine the threat that something bad might happen etc.
panic attack is intense anxiety associated with physical symptoms like increased heart beat, dizziness, sweating, choking sensation, gastric discomfort, urgency to urinate which might persist for brief period like 5 to 10mins sometimes even lesser than taht or can be even more.

Anxiety symptoms are the following;
Palpitations, tremors, sweating, tingling, headache, chest discomfort, breathlessness, stomach upset etc.
Panic attack is when the above symptoms occur along with strong feeling of doom, being so scared and feeling like one is going to die or something bad will happen.
In any case it may require treatment.
Avoid caffeinated drinks as it can trigger or worsen anxiety symptoms.
Try relaxation and breathing exercises to help reduce anxiety.
