The strangest thing happened to me last night and it down right scared the shit out of me, I didnt know what was going on with my mind and body.

I think I suffered some sort of panic attack or anxiety attack? I was sitting watching a movie with my boyfriend and about half way through the movie my feet and the palms of my hands started to sweat badly and I felt extremely nervous for no apparent reason at all.... I didnt say anything to him but I just got up and said I was going to bed and I layed there , tossed and turned for over a hour and the strange feeling eventually went away but I find today it is still playing on my mind and its a scary feeling.

Has anyone else ever suffered to anything like this and if so what have you done to ease the symptom or get rid of it all together? Any advice will be greatley appreciated guys. Thanks!
 
I have drugs for that but if you don't have any you might try to chill out. sit by yourself and listen to music you like that wil soooth you. think nothing about what is on your mind for now. just think of good things. that should bring you back to square on. if not you doctor can get you some drugs to get you past that . and he/she may suggest the same. smooth music. a walk is good too.
 
I worked with a girl that was subject to panic attacks. She went in to one while we were working together one night. I reached into the first aid kit and handed her a chemical compress. That gave her something else to think about and snapped her right out of it. If you're worried about it, see a doctor.
 
since it seems as though you were watching something as simple as a movie[nothing to get you in a panic] it seems like you might of become dehydrated;drink lots of water when you feel like that.i've had that happen to me and fluids seems to really help.i hope this helps you.
 
Symptoms of a panic attack:

* raging heartbeat
* difficulty breathing, feeling as though you 'can't get enough air
* terror that is almost paralyzing
* nervous, shaking, stress
* heart palpitation, feeling of dread
* dizziness, lightheadedness or nausea
* trembling, sweating, shaking
* choking, chest pains, distress
* fear, fright, afraid, anxious
* hot flashes, or sudden chills
* tingling in fingers or toes ('pins and needles')
* fearful that you're going to go crazy or are about to die

My doctor gave me Iterax when I had an anxiety disorder.
 
I've had anxiety attacks but thought it was my heart. Which of course made me more anxious. Finally saw my doctor and was put on Paxil. It has helped me and now I don't have any attacks.
 
No need to see the doctor for ONE panic attack, unless they become more frequent and begin to disrupt your life. It could be an isolated incident due to your body reacting to a subconscious stress trigger. I remember having a few of them some years ago (one in the NYC subway, I somehow conjured the belief in my head that terrorists were about to gas the subway tunnel ... I got off at the next stop and walked outside in the fresh air for an hour .. ironically this was 3 months after 9/11). I have not had panic attacks in years since.
 
First, is there anything that's really been worrying you lately: something that you've put off doing, for instance?

Do you have a history of anxiety? I mean do you have trouble speaking in public, for instance? Are their situation you avoid because they make you too tense? Does anyone in your family have anxiety?

Have you been loosing weight lately, for no apparent reason. Have you noticed that your hair is finer, and skin smoother? Are you increasingly sensitive to heat?
Does anybody in your family have history of thyroid problems? Either hyper or hypo?

There is a genetic componant to anxiety disorders. Also to thyroid disorders and other endocrine disorders. And thyroid problems can be part of a genetic disorder (MEN II or Multi Endocrine Neoplasia) that includes a benign adrenal tumor, a pheochromcytoma (oft suspected, rarely diagnosed). All of these conditions are very treatable. Both an excess of thyroid hormone and adrenalin can cause unprevoked episodes of anxiety.
 
panic attacks can be very hard. i have had them went on meds then they got better and doctor took me off have had a few since so may need to go bac on them .. i had them bad ebough that i didnt want to leave the house. have had a few that took me toi the ER only to find out nothing was wrong
 
Guys thanks for your input its greatley appreciated. As the day and evening has gone on It seems to have passed and I feel more or less like I always have.... fun , joking ect so who knows? I am going to consult my doctor though just incase whatever it was happens again.

For those of you that have had one or more before I really sympathize with you as it is one scary thing to go through and I hope you all beat it. Again guys thanks for listening :)

I used to get REALLY bad panic attacks in school in class or I'd get such bad anxiety that I couldn't sleep at night for a day or two and I got help for it.

Meditation helps, as does cardiovascular exercise, and avoiding caffeine.

Come to think of it I did have alot of coffees yesterday so maybe the caffeine thing may have triggered it? hmmmm thks.
 
i've had a similiar experience as well, and I too had an excessive amount of caffeine earlier in the day. Compounding this was the fact that I had to take the subway home, so the motion from the train made me even more nauseous and i could feel my heart palpitating. It was not pleasant. It took everything within me to try and prevent myself from puking all over the bus floor.
 
that does sound strange. and i'd be concerned if that had happened to me.
are you under a lot of stress lately? you should tell a member of your family or your boyfriend what you experienced. if these kind of attacks continue, definitely see your doctor.

good luck!

I have Obbsessive compulsive disorder and have been lucky to have only had one panic attack which scarred the living shit out of me as well , you wouldnt wish it on your worst enemy. All i can remember was watching a sad movie after an extremley stressful day and starting to cry then just having the attack , i had no control over my body and i struggled to breathe for a while, this lasted for about 25 minutes and i had uncontrolable crying and i couldnt stop , it is really hard to explain unless you have been through it but its like an out of body experience , your body is controlling you not your mind and its like your trapped and cant do anything .


My advice would be to go seek some medical attention from your GP and work things from there like i did , good luck mate and if you ever want to talk feel free to pm me

Yikes! I have had at least two. My first ex BF that was bad to me died and I had mixed emotions like I loved and hated him. That lead me to my first breakdown. The second was on my 20th bday this past year and my BF that I was going to ask to be my life partner that night because it was our whatever month anniversary that night as well. Came home, caught him in bed WITH SOMEONE ELSE! I passed out and had to go to the hospital for my birthday. Best Bday present ever! :rolleyes:

Aussieguy Thanks for your info and telling your story as well. Hope things are better with you and you have not had any Panic Attacks in a long while.

You are right when you said they are scary as hell and it feels like you have no control. Thankfully so far I only had that one happen and no others.

I will Message you if I need to chat and you feel free to do the same mate!
