Hi there, Louisa,

Although it probably feels as though you're dying, you're not. It'll be alright. Panic attacks can cause all sorts of weird and scary symptoms, but they're not signs of anything other than anxiety. Do you have any idea what caused the panic attack? I doubt you'll be able to sleep if you're really worried, but maybe there's something you can do to distract yourself. Have you tried listening to music?

Don't worry about talking to your doctor. Sedatives can be helpful, but there are always other ways to feel better without taking medication (from my experience, anyway!).

Take care,
