is this a panic attack?

panic attacks normally start to happen when one of the reasons below occur in your life…

Traumatic events Chronic health problems/illness/pain Regular exposure to news of tragedy Daily stress at work or at home Frequent criticism/pressure from others/feelings of inadequacy Loss of loved ones by death or separation

well, I am trying to quit smoking… that could probably be it.

I don’t know why I’m having one :(

yepp, thats sounds like an anxiety or panic attack.

it does sound like a panic attack, so can you please go get it checked out!!!

So symptoms of panic attacks http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/panic-attack?utm_medium=ask&utm_source=smart&utm_campaign=article&utm_term=Panic+Attacks&ask_return=Panic+Attack

Persons affected with panic attacks usually exhibit a broad range of clinical signs and symptoms that include:

heart palpitations (accelerated heart rate) shaking or trembling sweating shortness of breath or sensation of feeling smothered or choked feeling of tingling chest discomfort or pain nausea or abdominal distress feeling dizzy, light headed, unsteady or faint perceptions of being detached from oneself (depersonalization), or a feeling out of touch with reality (derealization) chills or hot flashes fear of dying fear of going crazy or losing control A person meets the criteria for a panic attack if the symptoms start abruptly, reach a quick peak (usually within 10 minutes), and if the affected individual has at least four symptoms as listed above. In persons who have less than four symptoms during an attack, the disorder is called a limited symptom attack.

Sometimes it is hard to know why you’re having a panic attack… there was a case study done on this girl who had random panic attacks, she’d randomly pass out in class a couple of times a day…

you should talk to someone about it

Wow, I hope not, because I have almost the same problem :-/ the mind being blank, not being able to think clearly, it’s like a period of really intense stress.

are you nervous about anything?
