Why this again

[apayett24]

Last night was the first time in 2weeks. I had a big panic attack it started with a brain zap I felt like I couldn't remember people or who I was it so scary then my heart kept racing I felt like if it didn't stop I might have a heart attack. Does anyone ever feel like this?

Hi I'm very sorry that's you feel this way and want to say that I understand the feeling of having something wrong with your head and feeling things that you don't quite get and becoming very scary. I'm still trying to understand it myself. But I just wanted to say that I too feel 'weird' things wrong with my head but never experienced not being able to remember things but I have felt really lost and unable to focus but anxiety is different for all. I feel that the feeling scared and heart racing may of just been anxiety playing a very vicious game with you, but that's my input and like I said still trying to understand what this all truely means and how to deal with it.

I understand you apayett24. I get brain zaps myself. Not as often as I use to but still as scary. Your second sentence explains what happened. First the brain zap and then the panic attack not vice versa. Since the brain zap is short lived, I have had to learn

how to control my reaction to it so that I don't go into a full blown anxiety attack.

Over the years, they have gotten less and less. Never did understand what causes it in the first place but I try not to let it scare me. I wish you well.
