hi,
i've suffered from health anxiety and depression in the past but a week before an operation recently I had a really weird experience and i was wondering if it was a panic attack I was worried and anxious about the op.
i was doing the washing up and i had become really focussed on my breathing and then i felt like i couldn't get enough air, felt dizzy, my heart pounding - it was horrific - i thought i was actually turn blue and die right there and then. i managed to go and sit down but i felt so drained of energy. :ohmy:
i don't think there is anything physically wrong with me since then i've been out running etc. but it was awful... if it is a panic attack i'm horrified my body did that to me - why does it do it?
