Panic attacks

Hi everyone, 

Had a weird panic tonight tonight. It has lasted three hours so far. It comes and goes, made me feel strange. Had to go to the toilet for number two six times in two hours. Have a headache, feeling of fainting, arm keeps aching, keep feeling europhia in waves. Throat is tight, mouth dry.

Is this normal as panicking to be honest.

46 years old and premopausal so not sure if this is part of it.

Thank you and any help please. 

I'm sorry you're going through this and I wish I had the answers but unfortunately I don't because I'm going through the exact same thing myself. I to am 46 years old. My son's 14th bday is tomorrow and I'm praying to be able to njoy it with him.🙏  I don't know how I'm going to be able to cope at work and school is about to start I go Monday.  This is awful 😔 I have meds but I don't tke them because of the side effects, I only use natural essential herbs like lavender but even it's failing me today 😢 hope and pray we both get better🙏🙏

is your meds is a maintenance medicine? i'm taking meds too but i felt the side effects also..im planning to stop taking it.. but they say its not advisable to stop a maintenance medicine..

Drink lots of water, take a brisk long walk or bike ride. Best to try and redirect your mind.

Hi I go through the exact same thing! Couldn’t go to my daughters birthday party back in January for the same reason, I don’t use any meds either because of the side effects but I have started using something called rescue remedy spray, you just squirt 2 pumps on your tongue and really works, it’s completely herbal and the whole family can use it, I got mine from amazon for £6.50 x

Hi there just reading your post ;it does sound like a proper a.anxiety attack I suffered from this along get time ago in my early thirties due to a family member passing away mine started off like this with all the symptoms you've discussed :I suffered a lot as I never told anyone how I felt I had to give up a very good job up due to my anxiety I suffered one and off for 8 years now I'm in my early 40s I seem to be feeling these symptoms again I was free from my symptoms for about 2 years and felt great .but due to me getting redundant at work it's creaping back ;do you ever suffer from a nevous drop feeling in chest this is the worst symptom for me.I don't get palpitations or anything just the weird feeling in chest
