Is this a panic attack?

nousernameavailable profile image

This has been going on for about an hour or two. I can't seem to grasp reality. I feel like nothing is real.When I stand up and walk, I feel dizzy and faint. I am also having trouble breathing. I am really scared I am going to die if I go to sleep. Is this a panic attack and what do I do?

hey, been there, sounds like anxiety to me, I have felt this way. lay down in from of a fan on high, take slow deep breaths, just know that you can breath just fine, start there,

once you have no dought that you can breath just fine, take your pulse and notice that yes it may be a bit fast but the rhythm is good,it is in fact stable

how does your heart feel? is there any bad pain? anxiety attacks can feel like our heart is having an attack. does your left arm have shooting pain? if not anxiety is a likely culprit
