I have had both, a lot of both!
Okay Panic and Anxiety is just that, you feel panic, you feel frightened or scared and the adrenaline is pounding through your body. I felt the need to be outside and have air in my face. I have walked up and down my street under the lights at 2 am to try and make it stop. When asked what I feared my reply was, the fear itself. Severe forms can make you partake in actions you would never previously do, like running to the store at 3 am or peeing in the parking lot, or calling your doctor 10 times in two hours for an answer to something.
Anxiety is a dull ache or pain in the chest, a heaviness that feels like an elephant is standing there. It is still very unpleasant and can take its toll on you. I have that when I dream like this morning, I was dreaming that I was working for a VERY difficult boss who was putting extreme pressure on me. I was trying to make everything alright even though my fellow worker was the one to blame for the problem. I came up out of bed with the worst pain in my chest and that feeling of craziness starting. I grabbed a Xanax and it was gone in about 30 minutes.
I have to tell you that hormones due to pregnancy can cause horrible panic and anxiety attacks in some people. Mine started at 12 weeks in and have come and gone for the past 23 years.Like (2)

I have had both. Neither is fun. When I have a panic attack, I can't breathe and I can't calm down. When I have an anxiety attack, I forget everything and don't know what I am doing. I get confused easily and that just frustrates me even more.

your anxiety attack sounds more like a disassociative state than axiety.Like (1)

I don't dissociate*, I am still very present, everything is just overwhelming and confusing. Example of dissociative disorder: You're talking with your friend, you hear her voice, you're nodding in agreement but you're not really there--you're physically with her, but not all there. Then your friend waves her hand in front of your face--"woohoo!!"--and you pop back into awareness! (from http://www.myshrink.com/counseling-theory.php?t_id=13)

I have anxiety attacks. They stop your breathing and it feels like you're being crushed until you can no longer move and/or pass out from the pain. Feels like you're dying

A panic attack is an episode of intense anxiety. Anxiety is the disease and the panic attack is a symptom.
