Go to see the Doctor. If you do get to feeling unwell then you couldn't be in a better place. Your Doctor will be able to see your blood pressure and other body signs at the time of an attack and make a more accurate diagnosis. Plus if the feeling unwell leads to you actually becoming unwell then there will be a Doctor right there to give you immediate treatment.

It has to be win / win. Regards Rib

Sounds to me like you do have anxiety. My anxiety started off like yours and it is scary at first I've lived with anxiety for nearly 6 years now and I'm 19. It would probably help if you take someone with you for reassurance and comfort, I don't leave my home without someone being with me now. There is help out here for you Hun. And don't be scared it can make you very distressed and worse try to take your mind off it so your not constantly thinking about it all the time, I still find it hard to cope with everyday. Your not alone love, feel free to message me if you have any questions, hope you feel better soon, Amy xx

Thank you for your replies, I took my dog a walk today and I was fine, I tried not to panic and I didnt, though I did feel very anxious that I could feel a panic attack coming on, but I stopped it, I hope I can control it tomorrow for the doctors
