i have had 3 social meetings this week and have suffered terrible physical effects just wondered if anyone else had these as very fightening. I became breathles whislt talking with flopy missed heart flutters i was all hot and red patchy face and felt faint. It was awful I was so anxious and alarmed, i got up and came back to the room after a while felt better but cant be right can it?? so worried.
It sounds like a panic attack 😰 exactly the way I go.....do u suffer anxiety at all or is this new to u?
Hello debi62095
Your symptoms that you are so worried about are very typical of anxiety. Have you felt confident before in these kind of meetings?
I would say that many people on this could recognise your symptoms and identify with them.
Short of breath
Flushed face
Blotchy skin (especially chest area)
Pounding heart
Feeling shaky
Feeling faint
This is a typical reaction about being nervous in public/speaking in public.
I just hope this info (which is from personal experience, by the way) will help you,
However if this continues, talk it over with your GP, who coudl prescribe you some medication to help you relax.
Good luck!
yes ive suffered on and off for years in social sits or when particularly anxious. thanks for that i will do some relaxation this time.thanks again
not new apart from this time the skipped heart beats and breathless more prominnt but cant unstand why when just talking to a freind in my art fclass, what i did notifce is that im quite anxious and intolerent of too many people or noises around me evertyhing just seems amplified and makes me fidjety..?
It's a horrible thing 😧 but as with my first attack with the "skipped heart beat" etc I did go to gp to have it checked out tho it was just anxiety
