Panic Attacks - Depersonalization

Last night, I experienced the worst panic attack I've ever had and it landed me in the ER because I thought I was going to die.

One of the symptoms (personally think this is the worst one) was the feeling of depersonalization. I think it made my panic attack worse because I was confused as to what it was and I genuinely thought, "No one has ever gone through this. I am crazy." The other symptoms were heart palpitations, heart racing, and brain fog.

I'm wanting to see who else experiences these types of things while having a panic attack and how other people cope. Especially with the disassociation/depersonalization feeling.

1 thing to look at is something called ANGINA//it mimics heart attack symptoms.i have had maybe 10 angina attacks and refused to call 911 and after a while the pain etc resolved itself/you need to use google to educate yourself more about panic/anxiety attacks and the many things you might exoerience/watch your meds intake also////good luck

I too experience derealization, and confusion when I have panic attacks. It’s the worst feeling in the world. Not being in control of your thoughts and sensations while your brain goes into a deep state of panic
