Correct.
You're having severe panic attacks.
Confusing the two could have bad outcomes for you if you're incapacitated and medication is required.
You're exactly right, so I never call it that when having one, it's just called a panic attack. I only ever used the term in therapy, for the most part, to describe the severity of it so I just fell into habit when describing it.
In the future I'll do my best to call it a full-on panic or complete panic attack.
Thanks!
