Hi, Kimbo,
Yes, I believe it sounds EXACTLY like a panic attack, and because you are scared of it happening again your sympathetic nervous system is pumping out more adrenaline to get you ready for "fight or flight" and therefore you are constant loop of symptoms- fear, adrenaline, fear.

Have you checked out "Symptoms" and/or "Panic Attacks" on this page to the left?
