Is this normal?

I suffer from panic attacks sometimes, but I get the worst ones ever when I'm excited..is this normal?  

Like next week my boyfriend is coming over and I haven't seen him in a while so I'm really excited but the morning of his arrival I seem to get myself worked up and end up having a full blown attack :o 

Is there anyway to stop this? Seeing as there is no need to be anxious! I just want to be happy. 

Thanks

Hi hopexo,

Yes we share the same experience. I most often get panic attack everytime im excited. Before because of so much excitement i ended up being so dizzy and bp will elevate.

Now, when im excited about something i just tell myself to relax and practice breathing.

I also get this. Its because of excitement you start hyperventilating without realising and you hit a panic attack. Focus on your breathing because for me if I realise beforehand my breathing is increasing and more oxygen is going into my bloodstream I start to get numb and then I believe in having a stroke.. Its all about identifying your panic signs and learning how to cope/avoid them. Hope this helps!
