This happens to me regularly, i have attacks when i am absolutely fine, they just come from nowhere.

I have found splashing cold water on my face can calm down the anxiety quicker, and if im feeling brave i will run up and down the stairs a few times to rid myself of adreneline. If i eat too many sugary foods i am more likely to get attacks so i try to limit my intake too.

Hope you are feeling betterx

Hi Trish,
I have just had the same experience . I have recently changed my job status and I am a bit anxious as I had tomove areas of work etc and as I was doing a bit of browsing in a shop my vision went blurred I thought I was gonna fall over so I grabbed hold of a rail in the shop and started deep breathing. I slowly walked to my car and drove home/when I got in I was sweating so much it scared the hell out of this time my last big p.a was a year ago. and like you I was not expecting it...
