Hi everyone,
About a year ago I was sitting in Geography and I had just had my HPV injection. I was fine about it, I wasn't nervous at all (I didn't have CAD then) But then one of the girls ran out of the class because she was feeling ill because of the injection. Then I began freaking out I was worried it would happen to me. Then another girl ran out (To help the other girl I found out later - not because she was ill, which I thought she was at the time)
That's when it happened. I felt my all the blood drain from my face, I started breathing slower and my heart rate increased. Also I could 'hear' my body not what was going on around me, like if you stick your fingers in your ears. That's what scared me most. I couldn't concentrate or write because my hands were shaking to much. I also felt really hot and ill. I was going to tell someone but I started concentrating on my breathing and it went away after a minute. After this I still felt really hot and my friends said I was really white.
I was going to go and ask the nurse who did it what it was but she had left. I felt better when I got home so I never mentioned it. The 3 other injections I had were fine, so I don't think it was a side affect.
Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Was is a panic attack? I've been wondering about this for a while. Thanks for any responses. :)
