Did I have a panic attack? I’ve not had one in years

So last night I was sat watching telly and all off a sudden I felt like I was moving I was sat in my bed!! Then this escalated and it wasn’t dizzy just like I was not Their I can’t explain it then the sweating began fast heart rate tryed lying down was feeling dizzy at this point sat bak up till I eventually calmed down then my legs was shaking! Been to my specialist today cause Doctors thought I had vertigo but that isn’t the case they are now sending me for a head scan, won’t get into that cause I do suffer from anxiety, just feel off balance aswell wen I walk sometimes could this be a panail attack? I’m not sure now I’m left with a horrible headache thank you for reading this long essay and please someone reply as I’m still over thinking what happened last night

Kirstyloou1234, I understand totally what you experienced. I get that when concentrating on what I am reading or writing on the computer. the light from the screen (as with a tv) the movement of characters, pictures, words (as on tv) deep in thought can cause this odd ball feeling or sensation in that you are moving. But it's really coming from your eyes trying to catch up to your brain.

I feel that the panic attack was an after math of your fears going off the wall which turn the "on" switch to adrenaline and panic. When it happens to me, I let it pass as quick as it came on, take a breath and continue with what I was doing.

I think the horrible headache that you are experiencing is nothing more than a contraction headache from the episode you experienced. I wish you luck with the head scan, it's always wise to see your doctor. Let us know the results. Try letting the thought of last night go...It is only feeding into your fears. xx

Agora1 thank you so much for what u wrote, it helped me a lot and I’ve read it over and over, you make sense, I needed to hear this! I can talk to no body about my anxiety cause they think I’m stupid and it’s all in my head! Yea it is but u till they are in my situation they never know so they shouldn’t judge me it’s horrible sometimes, I will let you no wen I’ve had the head scan I just want to get to the bottom off this and put it behind me, thanks again for taking your time out to reply to me xx

I get this horrible hot flash start sweating the feeling as if I've been on a merry go round for far to long I'm not moving myself but my head feels as though I'm spinning I start to black out sometimes it's very scary
