Strange Windrush Feeling

[proccie]

I have suffered with panic for nearly 8 years now. The thing that triggers my panic is a strange windrush feeling that comes up from my chest into my throat and feels like it is going to stop me breathing. I have explained to my GP who is not concerned and says is panic. If I don't get this feeling I don't panic. I don't understand my I get this feeling out of the blue. I know I breath shallow when it happens, don't know whether it happens because I am tensing everything. Does anyone else suffer anything similar???

Not really a wave. Like a gush that starts in my upper chest then gushes up to my throat. Doctor no idea but hard to explain when not actually happening. Thanks for replying.

Mine starts in my stomach and 'swishes' up through my chest. This is usually the start of my panic attack but I can sometimes hold the pa off by recognising the warning and diverting my attention, ringing someone, taking the dog out. Sometimes, but not always. Hope this helps, I certainly believe it is panic.
