sudden anxiety

Was just setting up a new television and came all over weird, i thought it might be the tv but i have moved away from that now and still been getting these sort of panic attacks, a little short of breathe and light headed and confused, never had anything like this before, not sure if it is anxiety or something else.

Been a good 4 hours now since the first one, and they still keep coming, never had anything like this, i just have to keep moving about, and going out for some fresh air, its like my brain is over loaded, yet i shouldn't really have anything to worry about, my life isn't that complicated.

Not sure what to do really is it something a doctor can sort out or do you just plod on with it until it stops or gets easier to deal with.

Sometimes that is when it hits its hardest, when you are relaxed and don't feel like you have any anxiety. When that happens I sometimes just sit down and let them happen. Mine feel like hot flashes start at the top of my head like my blood is hot and rushes through my body. I think it is an adrenalin Rush. Try breathing exercises and don't fight them. It can make it worse. Good luck.

Could you have been behind the tv in a bad position with your neck taking the strain.

Possibly give yourself a break for a time. Sometimes when we lower the head and the neck is taking the strain the blood flow will make you dizzy and light headed as you have starved the brain for a time.

All will sort out if you just relax in a comfy chair for a while ask your other half for a cup of tea.
