Advice please

Hi fellow sufferers,

As some of you know Ive been having a bad time of late with my health anxiety and need to ask a question thats bugging me at the minute. I dont think Ive ever had a panic attack but the feeling I get is like a tingling all over my body, weakness in arms,legs,fingers. My head goes all funny and whooshing pains up the back of my head. My left eye feels funny. Does a panic attack last for minutes as mine sometimes can go on for hours. Do you think this is due to a panic attack?

Thanks all

Take Care

Hi Mandy,
that sounds like some of the symtoms i get. The main thing is the absolute fear, almost like im scared to move, I feel really sensative (mentally) I get claustrophobia and agrophobia at the same time. My vision becomes distorted, Hands and feet become clammy. Heart either races or feels like its stopped, muscles tense and ache. Thats to list a few, the main thing for me is absolute fear and feeling like im going to die instantly! Also, cant get any composure with thoughts, all rationality goes out of the window.
Sorry for the ranting, have been on the verge of a big one for a few days, but managing to hold it back, hence all my ramblings. Makes me clutch at things or run a mile.


Take care

Will :D

Hi Mandy hun. I had 'panic' which lasted q few days, it just felt like i was constantly afraid, heart racing, breathing funny, shaking. i think symptoms are slightly different for evryone but all the ones you mentioned are common, i get pins and needles in my body and i feel like i want to 'get out' but don't know where.
Will hope you are feeling a bit better. I can relate to not being rational and getting a grip on my thoughts.
Hope this helps mandy hun, hope you feel better soon. Just hang in there, still thinking of you and praying for you

Take care

Hi Mandy,

I get this this sometimes, its like i'm feeling out of it and dizzy for days on end, and i get really anxious and am really aware of my breathing. Sometimes i wish a panic attack would come on so its over and done with. Try not to let this get you down it will soon pass and you'll be feeling a lot better.

Take care.

Hi Mandy,

i never thought i had panic attacks, only health anxiety, until recently. I get very similar symptoms to you - the intense fear, weakness, dithering (sp?), sweating, feeling sick etc. I've only recently realised what was going on.

Hi Mandy.

Hope you are feeling a little better now mate. Sounds just like a panic attack what you described, I remember when I had my first one it was awful and I didn't even know what it was until a friend of mine told me.
