Panic attacks

[Cimmy]

How does a panic attack affect you, could you describe your symptoms and feelings please. I think I’m having panic attacks and just want to know other peoples take on them, so I can get a insight to what is going on with me. Thank you for reading and any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Mine usually start with me not being able to breath, then my whole back tenses and starts to hurt. its like the world starts spinning and you cant focus on anything, i start sweating and then it all pauses and i just cry, my chest starts to hurt like there is a hole growing bigger and bigger swallowing my insides. it becomes overwhelming and so i just cry, theirs nothing more that i can do but wait it out.

I always feel breathless, like I’m gasping for air, my neck tenses and my head swims, I can’t concentrate on anything and I just want to run home and hide, I also get very nauseous and when it subsides which feel like it takes forever I’m soo tired that I lay down and just want to sleep. It’s all so consuming. My life just feels like a car wreck at the moment, I wake up waiting for this to happen and so it does, just a viscous circle, I just want to have a normal nice day, is that to much to ask, I’ve tried talking to my doctor about it and he just throws more tablets at me. I hate myself and I’m sure my family hate me as well because of the way I am. Sorry about the long depressing reply, just need to vent to people that understand what I’m going through. Thank you again

[xsor in reply to Cimmy]

My panic attacks always start off as shortness of breath or my body just feels heavy and i start to panic. Any little sensation that seems off or different in my body causes me panic.. I have health anxiety

[Cimmy in reply to FearIsALiar]

Hi, I know where your coming from concerning health anxiety, mine is at its peak at the moment, I can’t even get out of bed today as I’m so scared of having a turn, I’ve just rang the doctor and I’m waiting for him to ring. I need some help with this, it is so out of control. Take care and thank you for your reply. It helps to know I’m not alone in this, as my family has had enough and doesn’t understand

[FearIsALiar in reply to Cimmy]

Yeah and it doesn’t help that Covid is still happening. My advice is to believe your doctor. I went to doctor for shortness of breath and thought it was something way worse! Got a chest xray and everything was fine. Trust me they would know! Anxiety loves to play tricks on us. Even after going home I was still having shortness of breath even after getting the reassurance so it led to more panic! I just tell myself I have an overactive nervous system and that I am okay!
