Hey, sorry hear that you've had this experience... It sounds very stressful. I have also had this in the past - suddenly feeling unwell, with light-headedness, increases in heart rate etc. but I am 99% sure that it was due to blood pressure and/or anxiety (in my case at least - obviously I am not a medical professional, so this may not / will not be the same for you).

Perhaps keep a regular check on your BP for a week or two and see if it is outside of the 'normal' range (which I believe is anything over 120/80 for high BP and 90/60 for low BP). If you are worried though, the best thing to do is book an appointment to see your GP.

Hope you're ok!

Thanx Anxiety DJ for your reply. My blood pressure is usually good anything fro 117/75 to 130/80 . It only goes really high when this happens and I feel dreadfull. Is it normal for blood pressure to spike so high with an attack ?

Hey, sorry you feel that way... I'm always happy to listen and talk :)

It really sounds as though the best thing you can do is make an appointment to see your local doctor... Blood pressure drops / spikes can definitely make you feel light-headed very quickly, so that is possible, but as I said before, I'm obviously not from the medical world, so don't want to put the wrong ideas out there in case they are totally unwarranted!

The most important thing is to try and stay focused on being calm and relaxed whenever possible - remember that you've been in certain situations many times before and have always been fine, so why should this one be any different?

Hope you're having a good day so far! :)
