SCARED

[Copsgrl8]

I am sitting here just having a nice afternoon with my kids and all of a sudden I get this stabbing pain right in the middle of my chest. Now with this happening totally throws me into a PA. I just don't get it ... why does this happen for no reason? I got up from playing with them and go into my room and try to calm down. Now I am feeling pains all over my body. I am very light headed and I am running to the restroom all the time. Does anyone have this problem? I just can't stop going (#2) sorry too much info.

I am grabbing my chest and my daughter keeps asking why I am holding my heart.

Ugh!!!! I hate this SO much!!! I just want it to stop!!!:weep:

Chest pains are quite common - I still get them.

I just accept it is one of those things and not let it worry me now.

Stretch it out and it will soon pass.

I often find that I need to go to the loo often when stress/having a pa.
Just keep in mind that you will get through this and concentrate on calming your breathing down.
when I am in the middle of a pa, it is good to try and focus (know its hard) on something else, like a quiz/game or talk to someone about anything but the PA.
Hope this helps

Hello !
Panic attacks are scary by nature aren't they ? All our senses are super-alert so its no wonder all our bodily reactions work overtime too ! My panics seem to set off without any trigger either. Well done you for taking time out to get your breathing under control - I also tell myself I'm "calm and relaxed, safe and secure" it makes my brain think of something other than what ifs ...
