From what I've read it's because women tend to be much more aware of their body and the sensitivities it experiences.
Apparently panic attacks are when there is an adrenaline (sp?) rush to some sort of situation, and women tend to react more physically to this type of stimuli than men do.
Men tend to shrug "strange feelings" off where women get a bigger response to the "fight or flight" syndrome.
Guess it proves the old theory that women are much more sensitive than men. Alas, in this situation, too much so.
