Well, having a rubbish time with my HA over OC worries and my head is all over place!
BUT been to Sainsburys for a few bits and bobs came out and walking to car just felt like I couldn't breathe as if my throat and nose were closed up - in seconds I was trembling, shaking, heart racing, head pounding, I was so damned hot!
Seriously considered "999" as i felt I was truly dying BUT being terrified of hospitals did not make that an option for me!
I threw my shopping in the car and tried desperately to ring someone to talk to - no one bloody answered :doh:
Grabbed a carton of apple juice to see if I could calm down - utterly convinced I was about to pass out or die.
Found a friend who had a chat with me outside school gates - told her my current HA worries were driving me mad and I thought I was having panic attack. She really helped me BUT 2 hours later I still feel weird -still feel as if my nose and throat are closed off, still feeling hot, anxious.
You know, I haven't had panic attacks for 16/17 years and can't really remember them being this scary
Do you think it was panic or a true medical problem? (by asking this I am not saying that panic is not a true medical problem but I am sure you know what I mean).
