Re: Is this a panic attack?
You're not alone there. I get the same kind of panic attack. But I started to think they're not full blown attacks, just high anxiety. Because I've had full blown attacks that didn't just stop after that head rush/faint feeling that comes from nowhere, and I know the difference.
I think we tense and breathing a funny way without fully realising it and it gives us that spell. It doesn't go further than the spell because we interrupted it. It's a horrible feeling, if we have the same thing, I sympathise. I get that head feeling and a sense that something terrible us about to happen, tight throat. I know it's anxiety because I don't get them at home, just when I am somewhere in public I can't run away, like sitting down to eat.
The worst part is you never get used to the feeling. I'm not a doctor and i don't want to guess but I've often wondered if it's triggered by tight neck muscles too. But I'm sure it's high anxiety. My anxiety is already high before it hits. If it helps, this started in 2011 and the doctor said panic/anxiety.
