Hi all,

Only 3 months in to these joys of health anxiety and panic attacks so still learning the ropes of it all, I like to come on here and read other peoples experiences so I know I’m not alone as that’s how it feels sometimes when no one around you suffers with this god awful condition!

This morning I had a god awful panic attack (I think) I say I think because it wasn’t in the usual manner ie rapid pounding heart - that I can deal with

My heart rate spread up as it does but it felt extremely weak rather than pounded I tried taking my pulse but it was very difficult and I think I got it around 130, I went very light headed, dizzy.

It stopped now and I am just tingling and ears ringing waiting for this to pass

Does this sound like a panic attack?

Also to mention I have severe health anxiety around my heart which I am waiting for CBT for and currently going through some self help books while I wait, had ecg, 24, ct chest with contrast and echo all normal

Thanks guys
