Hi
can anyone tell me what happens when they have a panic attack? since I had my little boy I have been experience these awful symptoms. I get a weird feeling run through my body it Makes me feel I’m about to pass out, if im alone il quickly run to the door because I think if I pass out someone will see me. I dont pass out but my whole body goes shaky and weak and my heart is racing along with other symptoms but this also happens to me at night when I’m asleep il wake up as if I’m about to pass out and I go all shaky etc again. it happens to me about 3/4 times a month sometimes more. I just dont knowmwaht it is but it is so scary and makes me feel awful. 
I would really appreciate someone else’s experience with this as I’m not sure what to do about it.
definitely some of the MANY panic attack symptoms. has your doctor cleared you? if you check out just fine then what you’ve described certainly fits panic attack symptoms. good luck.
These are absolutely the types of things that happen to me. I have these and many more symptoms when I am in a panic attack but this shaking is definitely a big one
I have had heart checks etc although my blood have come back and my white blood cells are slightly low and I’ve been suffering with stomach issues since my boy was born but apart from that I have the all clear. thanks for your response it really helps to know if this is what I’m experiencing
how long do your last? mine can last an hour!!
Absolutely panic attack symptoms. I’ve also had all of these plus more! Don’t let it stress you too much, I know it’s scary but it’s also very treatable. There are so many resources available these days. 
As far as your question on how long does it last, well the panic attack doesn’t usually last that long but the anxiety from the panic attacks can make it feel like hours/days/ etc. Just know that is what is happening and that it won’t hurt you and it will go away.
Best Wishes!
a panic attack lasts for me about an hour as well, the shakes mainly, then I’m so exhausted and have a splitting headache…the aftermath(edginess, crankiness etc, sometimes lasts days as I anticipate the next one😥
Dear Sazzle:
I feel you because i have a lot more symptoms when i have a panic attack. i hated the heart racing and shortness of breathe the most. trust me as i have suffered for 18 years and is on and off for me. usually a panic attack will last for about 15-20 minutes and whats left over is the anxiety that can be around for an hour and even more. Just let the feeling flow. Did you see a psychaitrist or taking any meds for your anxiety ?
yes this is me to after it happens I’m waiting for it to happen again. I find it so hard to get on with my life, dizzyness/off balance I have everyday which is being investigated. I take mirtrazapine and it does help a
