Fizzzzle Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I thought I had had one before, but oh no. I couldn't breathe, tears were streaming, there was no reason. I remember telling my host "we have to close now" and he was like "what, why?" And I told him something ridiculous. It was almost like a hallucination.

Mr.Vic20 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Yes, a full blown panic attack feels like a mix of having a heart attack and an out of body experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sorry to hear that. I feel like I’ve come close a couple of times, but it’s more like I seize up and can’t process anything at all for a few minutes. It’s had to explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Thankfully there were other people there and I was allowed to go home. It was debilitating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fizzzzle Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 It was just weird. Like nothing caused it. I was fine and then all of the sudden I was like "shut everything down, the world is about to end." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Sounds scary. As I've gotten a little older I will get some small anxiety attacks. Last time it happened was 2 weeks ago when I got my first Covid vaccine shot. Sitting in the CVS they have you sit there for 15 min after the shot. Got the shot, feeling fine with 5 min left on the clock, the pharmacist comes by and says "feeling fine?", I said yep, and not 10 seconds later I felt cold and clammy, heart rate increased, fear and shortness of breathe set in. I knew it was just in my head so I quickly pulled my phone out to play a game and it subsided slowly. Felt happy and positive right before the lady asked how I was doing, then BAM!

IF you were not stressed about anything leading up to that, I would definitely go see your physician and get a check up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
best3444 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I've had them since 2003. Medications have really helped but some days I'll be in a full out sweat in panic over small shit. Welcome to the club. If it continues get on medication. Down side, most meds for panic fuck your sex drive over like it did mine. It will totally change you. So you're caught in the middle of a nightmare. Like my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if I'm going to live a miserable life I'm dragging anyone I can down with me! I really didn't mean it that way I was just being realistic. Panic attacks have ruined my life so it's a sore subject for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
