Hi everyone, I'm new.
I don't generally suffer with panic attacks, I have had a couple whilst flying as I hate flying but I've never had one on the ground until now.
I have just had a huge panic attack and it came out of nowhere. I was getting into bed and all of a sudden I felt light headed and dizzy, then my breathing went erratic and my hands and arms were numb and tingling like mad. I was absolutely terrified. I ended up calling an ambulance as I was on my own and after 20 minutes it wasn't coming to an end. The paramedics were lovely and calmed me down, did some tests (blood sugars/blood pressure etc) and all was normal so they put it down to a panic attack.
I am petrified. I'm on my own right now and I am so worried about having another one. It makes it worse that I'm on my own.
I can't sleep at all because I'm worried about it all now.
I have a question - do you faint whilst you have a panic attack? I haven't but that's what I'm most scared of.
