Some background information, I struggled with panic attacks constantly a couple of years ago but managed to deal with them and haven’t had one in 2 years. Though I still struggle with anxiety here and there.
Earlier today as I was eating I suddenly felt an anxious feeling come over me, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary it just felt like your regular old anxiety, but it quickly progressed into this rising or “building up” kind of anxious feeling, similar to like being on a rollercoaster or going down a steep hill. My upper body just felt like it had the “butterflies in the stomach” feeling and it slowly kept coming on and I started to panic. It was different to how all my other panic attacks would start though.
I got up and walked around to try and calm myself down and it went away a bit but I could still feel it it creeping up. It took around 2 minutes for it to go away and didn’t transition into a full blown panic attack. I didnt have any other symptoms other than a bit of shortness of breathe and shakiness after the whole ordeal.
Does this sound like a panic attack, or at least the start of one before I was able to calm down? Has anyone had anything similar?
