PANIC ATTACK ?
My daughter woke up last night and she was sick. She vomited all over the place. After I cleaned her and everything else up, I went back to bed. I was laying there and I got this weird feeling. I felt like I was dying. I started to shiver and because very afraid. I was home alone with two young children. I almost called 911. I got up and started to pace around.
I thought if I closed my eyes that I would never wake up. Wow, I thought it was the end. I was so scared. I guess I fell asleep after an hour or so.
This has never happened to me before !!!
Has anyone gone through something like this?
As you can see I woke up -- THANK GOD
Hello,
I have a long history of panic attacks. They can play great mind game with you. I know with my panic attack I shiver and get very afraid of everything. I had not had one since last april. Since the surgery and lost a lot of my weight. Just last week I broke my wrist and on thur they put a cast on my hand. The cast has been hurting my hand. Never had a cast on that I was old enough to remember that is. Last night I has a panic attack. 1st one since april. I was crying and saying I needed to get the cast off. I was shaking my heart was going 90 miles an hour. I used to take medication for this but since. I had not had an attack in so long I thought I could come off the medication. I took a pain pill last night and went to bed and tried to control my breathing. As you can see also here I woke up too. Panic attack can be scarey. Stress come out in funny ways even when you think your not that stressed out. I would say for you since this was only once that it happen to you. Keep an eye on it. If it happen again a few more time, I would give your doctor a call. Make sure it is panic attack. 9 out of 10 they are. They have medication that can control them if they get out of hand like they where on me a while back ago. It could be just a one time panic attack and if this is the case I am glad to hear. I hope I helped you out some. Sorry you had to go though it being home alone with kids. Ever I can help just email me.

Thanks for the replys.
I never felt like that in my life. Wow, I was so scared. I am also scared I'm going to die when I have the surgery (but that's another story).
I didn't know what to do. What a terrible thing to go through. I feel a little depressed today and very emotional. I hope it doesn't happen again.
Thanks for the support.
Take Care

I have suffered panic attacks and severe anxiety since I was 27 yrs old. I am now 62. When I first had my panic attacks, I could not breathe. I was hyperventaling so bad that my mouth, hands were numb and I was all twisted up from the waist up. I went to 3 hospitals and no one knew what it was except for Rhode Island hospital..Thanks to a young dr. He gave me a shot of valium and all of a sudden it went away....It was one of the worst cases of severe anxiety he had seen. I had this anxiety for 3 days thats why I was all contorted. I was on valium for yrs but now I am other anxiety meds and havent had a panic attack in years....My panic attacks were from my personal life. If you have another one of them, please see your pcp and ask for help. It the scariest thing I have ever been through and I have been thru a lot. The mind can play very serious games you.
