Hello,
I'm 17 years old and I'm 1,80m tall. My weight at the moment is 53 kilos. Half a year ago I was 44 kilos, I'm underweight but I managed to gain some weight already, which is good.
My girlfriend lives in the UK and I live in Holland, so I'm in a long distance relationship. The reason I'm saying this is because since a short time I'm experiencing 'panic attacks', or 'anxiety attacks'. For example I went to America two months ago, which meant that I couldn't talk or Skype with my girlfriend as much, seeing as I would be in America and she would be in the UK, I would be in a different timezone and all that. At the airport, I got some sort of attack where I felt like I could faint any moment, I felt so weak, I got so warm and I got this weird feeling in my stomach. I couldn't swallow anymore and I got the feeling like a hand was pressing on my stomach. Another example. My girlfriend was over at my house for a couple weeks and the day before she left, I got the same thing again as I got at the airport.
This was all about a month ago. Now a week ago on Monday, I got some sort of electrical shock. I believe people call them 'surges'. It wasn't an actual electrical shock, but it felt like one. Saturday, so a few days ago, I got the same, but this time it was worse. I was walking with my sister and all of a sudden I got a shock again. After that I felt horrible, I couldn't eat for a couple hours, I didn't know what was happening to my body and I felt so dizzy. The day after, so on Sunday, my girlfriend was going to France for a week, maybe this is related to it?
Yesterday (Monday) I was in class and we made a practice exam. My girlfriend was in France, which meant we couldn't text as much and I missed her. During the practice exam we made, I started to feel very strange, something I had NEVER experienced before. I got really warm, my heart started beating like crazy, I got a horrible feeling in my stomach, I felt like I lost my balance and I could fall down any moment, while I was just sitting in a chair. I felt horrible, I couldn't concentrate anymore, I couldn't control what was happening to my body. I went home and I laid in bed for the rest of the day. This morning I went to school again, I would have quite a long day in school, and while I was in history I got the same thing again as I had yesterday. I managed to get home somehow and now I'm laying down on bed writing this. My mum just checked my blood pressure, it's very low.
I'm going to the doctor this afternoon. Could anyone help me though? I don't know what to do... Or could anyone tell me how to deal with these situations?.. And are the things I'm experiencing panic attacks, or anxiety attack? And what about the electrical shock, are they surges? Any advice is greatly appreciated...
