Hi!
Im pretty sure i had a panic attack 2 days ago, but something was seriously strange about it. What happened was, I woke up with seriously bad aching pains. (Nothing like period pains and I wasn't on my period anyways!) It was so intense I felt like I couldn't breathe. So, I ended up gasping for breath and rumaging through my draws for pain killers, which I'm now thinking is what caused my hyperventilation. Then shortly afterwards I realised I had symptoms like dizzyness, floaty feelings, blurred vision, depersonalisation, all which are symptons of a panic attack, yes indeed. I am convinced it was a panic attack.
Yet the major contradiction is that it does not appear to be known that vision will be lost during panic attacks. For almost 2mins i lost my vision, everything appearing to be white, not only "blurred" as others describe it.
Also, although it is known that abdominal pain can occur, mine was so intense it was unbearable, i was desperately finding painkillers and planned to overdose on them because i wanted it to go away as soon as possible. Does this suggest that the pain is something else, not one of the symptoms of my panic attack and that my panic attack was actually triggered off by the pain making me breathe more resulting in hyperventilation? Or, is this pain what i will experience everytime i hav a panic attack?
Has anyone ever experienced these symptoms? Or are these just other problems i have?
Thanks for reading this! Plz help!
