Why do panic attacks have to be different everytime i get one, i felt terrrible all weekend i returned to work today was doinmg ok then out of nowhere my whole chest went numb started burning so did my face - heart rate went mental and i told myself i was dying and ran away from my desk (does this fuel it)? my legs went shakey too. It has calmed down but i cant help thinking that something else is wrong (heart)? im so scared. if panic attacks were the same everytime it would be alot easier to distinguish but i cant as it is always diffeerent. I'm sick and tired of feeling like this!!
I totally get where your coming from! The fact that they are different every time makes us on the look out for any symptom! That's amazing that you went back to work though even if it didn't go exactly how you wanted it to. Xx
panic attacks can be different each time.
ever had a check up by your doctor? It would give you peace of mind
just remember that symptoms brought on by anxiety and panic cannot hurt you. They are scary and feel weird but that is all they can do. Many of the symptoms are related to the release of adrenaline by the brain which can speed up the heart rate.
there are some great audio meditations on YouTube for panic and anxiety. For panic you can search panic attack emergency and they will guide you through it. For anxiety just search for guided meditation for anxiety. Many to choose from. They completely calm me down.
When your doctor tells you that you are OK, The important thing is try not to react with anxiety when you get those symptoms because it will create more anxiety and more symptoms. I know it can be difficult, but just try to accept the symptoms, do some slow deep breathing and try to keep your mind calm. Otherwise, the brain will release more adrenaline, thus more symptoms.
