It all started 1 sunday afternoon when I was 16. I was just sitting there watching tv and all of a sudden it felt like my entire body went numb I pinched myself and couldn't even feel it. Then I lept up and screamed and started having a panic attack. Had to have a dr called out... and he reassured me that it was a panic attack got me to breathe into a paper bag... This went on or what seemed like an eternity. Thought I was dying my hands would clench up uncontrollably because of the lack of oxygen and pins and needles everywhere. I was terrified. Saw phychatrists that didn't really help much... Had a brain scan and neck xray saw a neurologist. Results came back all clear.

I've still no idea why it happened. It's now 17 years later and I'm still here .

I do get days where I worry a lot about health related issues. But no panic thank god. But still aware of breathing at times. I am not as bad when I'm at work as it takes my mind off myself.
