panic attack sufferer
Sudden terror experiencer
A panic attack sufferer is someone who experiences panic attacks—sudden episodes of intense fear accompanied by physical symptoms like racing heart, shortness of breath, and dizziness.
The term emphasizes the recurring nature of the condition rather than a single incident: As a panic attack sufferer, she always knew where the exits were.
The phrasing is somewhat clinical; people often simply say they get panic attacks or have panic disorder.
