This might sound like a silly question, but I don't know if I suffer from panic attacks or not. I have certain situations that I get very anxious about, but I don't think that I am going to faint, or die or have a heart attack. I just get very anxious, my heart beats fast and I start sweating more (sorry, yuk!)I feel I can't cope and I also have a very strong desire to either avoid, or leave the situation. Is that a panic attack?
I don't really know why it matters to be honest, as I know I have a anxiety problem, its just that my GP wrote "anxiety/panic" on my very first sick note years ago and I always wondered what the difference was. Now I am starting to read more about anxiety, there seems to be a distinction made between the two.
