I am sorry you are feeling bad.
I had similar last night. All of a sudden I felt short of breath and lightheaded. My BP was alittle low but I am sure it was anxiety. My husband always trys to get me to do something when I start feeling that way to distract me and even though I didt want to last night I found something to do and it acutally worked.
Today went I felt off I went outside and shovelled the snow and now I am feeling alot better. See if finding something distracting to do helps?
Sometimes there is just an overflow of adrenaline that needs to be worked out.
Hope you feel better asap!

Ive had all this, it just shakes you up when it comes on out of the blue, you think that you are ok! but your not.
It sounds like classic Anxiety and it really is evil when it comes like this.

Yeah I got that last night as well. Doing something else to distract yourself absolutely works for me as well.
I was reading my daughter a story and I felt it coming and I really tried to get into the story and it went away in the end. I was really proud of myself.
I understand why it was more difficult for you, you didn't see it coming.
I knew I'd been anxious so I was kind of expecting it.
Take care.
