When panic strikes

[ANXIETY26]

I cant understand why panic can just strike out of the blue. I've been having quite a few good days lately. Yesterday I went out for a spin in the car as a passenger. It was not as If I was worried about anything in particular but BANG, it came on like a shot. I thought to myself right, just ignore it and it will pass. No such luck, I have been able to deal with panic attacks many a time, but not this one. Why are some more fierce than the others? It felt as if I had had an allergic reaction to something. My body felt weak and numb and I could'nt think straight. I though I was at deaths door :) After taking a Vallium (which Im trying so hard not to do) the feelings subsided and I started to think what could have brought such an attack on. I know this will probably sound stupid to you but I put it down to putting in a fresh set of contact lenses. When I went out yesterday, which I rarely do at the moment everything seemed so much clearer. I was just wondering whether maybe that was the cause. Too much stimuli?? I dont know.

hi anxiety
panic attacks can come out of nowhere thats how most of mine happen,
i can be just sitting at the computer or sat watching tv and BANG got ya i even had a really bad panic attack while i was driving my car from my local shopping center and i didnt know where i was 4a split secound .

ive found that anything can start a attack off just out of the blue so its possible that putting contact lenses in could have started you in an attack.

all the best
