sounds exactly like a panic attack. The build up of symptoms then the release of crying / breathing problems.

n i keep getin this dreded feelin that its guna happen again,iz that suppozd happen? X

[Dazza]

yes, that's the annoying thing. you tend to fear them happening again, which is what normally makes them happen again. vicious circle i'm afraid. :( but you can learn to live with them and control them

Sounds exactly like a panic attack, blooming terrifying. I remember my first exactly like that and I had to get home from work in London on a train, I seriously thought I was going to die on the train. The symptoms you list are exactly what I felt and then the waiting for the next one is horrible!! I am now on citalopram and I feel sooooo much better :-) I had to have my son come back home to live with me because I felt so terribly ill and frightened all the time. I used to cry and wail to my son and then afterwards I felt so tired. I am so much better now with the help of citalopram and hypnotherapy/relaxation. Haven't had a full blown panic attack for a few months (touch wood)!!!

I wish you all the very best.

hi

sadly it does sound like a panic attack, it is scary when it happens.. but try your best not to think and worry too much or it will bring it on again..i've only had the one thankfully though I now recognise the initial feelings and really do my best to try and sit through it .. if I need to get up and move then I do and if I can't I don't... hugs x
