when you have a HA ??

HI Everyone
Just a small thing I hope someone could identify with,
When I have an attack a very frightening feeling jumps from my chest up to my throat, it only lasts seconds but starts me off with a panic attack, thinking the worst.
Also has anyone found that when you use the PC and get worked up doing something important ,or even discussing a topic which concerns you, do you find you get a painful knot in the top of your tummy? it goes later if I gently massage it,
It would be nice to get these little worries ironed out, thanks in advance.

I would guess the jumps are palpitations - you being more aware of your heart beat. They probably signal that your anxiety levels are climbing before you have a panic attack. Do you see a counsellor to see if you can work out what’s going on for you before the palpitations start? The knot in your tummy is so common with anxiety.

Oh thanks for your reply, just confirmed what I hoped.
No. I have not seen anyone , I think I might have to, but am worried I might see a young person as I would feel more comfortable with a more mature Lady.
Nothing against the young it is purely me feeling silly.
