What Are The Symptoms Of Panic Attack?

I have been previously diagnosed with depression and/or social anxiety disorder, diagnoses I'm not sure I agreed with and have little resources with which to cure them. I occasionally have episodes where I am overwhelmed by crowds and resultingly start crying, develop difficulty breathing, and have the urge to escape. Are these panic attacks? How can I stop them?
