A likely cause in this case is an anxiety attack. Some common symptoms of an anxiety attack include dizziness, shortness of breath, great fear, the feeling of pins and needles, pale skin, and sweating. The patient might also be suffering from nausea, a rapid heartbeat, and vomiting. There a more than two dozen other symptoms that can also accompany an anxiety attack.
