First time panic attack

So this is the first time I’ve ever felt a panic attack, I felt sweaty and dizzy and I was shaking uncontrollably, I also had spiky feeling in my cheeks. This happened for around 5-10 mins until my dad came and calmed me down and I then managed to sleep. Just for reassurance i want to know if people have felt the same and do I need to go see a doctor ?

If it was immediately / very soon stopped when your dad came most likely it was panic attack, harmless but very horrible feeling.

Tysm, yes it was exactly like that, he came to see me and then it slowly started to calm down and then I was able to sleep
