Today I had what I think is my first proper panic attack in 8 or 9 years. I still have anxiety and I used to get a lot of panic attacks. Lately I have been anxious about many things and my stress levels have been building up for a while. I have been tired and run down and to add to it my husband and I have not been getting on for some time. We had just had an argument and I was feeling very stressed and worked up. All of a sudden, my whole body started to feel weak and I started to feel very shaky and light headed. I then started to worry that I was having a stroke. I was driving at the time and I thought I was going to pass out as I felt so weak and shaky so I pulled over. On reflection, I think this was a panic attack. I have had these many times in the past. It wore off but at the time I really thought I would faint. I guess this is a warning sign that I have been more stressed than I realise.
