Hi everyone. I had a really hard time two nights ago and felt like I was having a heart attack or dying. I’m pretty sure it was a panic attack because having my roommate next to me while I laid down helped calm me down and I eventually went to sleep.
I felt dizzy, lightheaded, felt like I was going to faint, felt like my throat was closing up and as if the air was getting pulled out of me. My chest was tight and I started to feel like I was forgetting things. I was just losing it.
Part of me is paranoid that I suffered some mild heart attack or that I’m due to die soon from heart problems. I’m 24 and overweight. But other than that my health is fine.
I have a lot of stressors in my live right now. I just moved away from my homophobic emotionally abusive parents, I started working in person again, I take public transit, had my vaccine, lost my psychiatrist because of insurance stuff, and just a lot going on.
It was just so scary experiencing that. It was the worst panic attack I ever had in my life.
Anyone else feel like this during their panic attacks?
