Hi everyone
I have been a member of this forum for a while and for most of this year have been in recovery. I have had the odd blip, but i am so much better now to a year ago - or at least I thought.
I sat at work yesterday and all of a sudden came over really dizzy and spaced out. My immeditae thought was " oh jesus I'm going to faint " which i know is the wrong thing to do. But this really caught me off guard! I manage to sit this feeling out and of course nothing happened.
But later that day i was having my nails done and it happened again, this time i was obviously with a stranger and my immediate thought again was I'm going to pass put. I felt really dizzy and spaced out and this time short of breath. My main anxiety is that of my heart. I really fear that I am going to die of sudden adult death thingy, and that i have a ryhthm problem that nobody has detected yet.
Until now i was really starting to deal with this as i had not had any major symptoms for ages. Do you think this was an out of the blue panic attack that i managed to control. If so i can't think what caused it. I was not anxious or anything prior. OR DO YOU THINK I REALLY DO HAVE A HEART RYHTHM PROBLEM???? i had an ecg last dec - no probs. and last april no problems and feb 05 - no problems.
I'm really at a loss. The rational part of my brain is telling me it was a panic attack, but i don't know what caused it. The other panic side of my brain is telling me it was my heart??
Help!!![V]
