you are one of the millions of people who experience anxiety and panic. There’s nothing unusual about your symptoms and you can absolutely get a panic attack without your heart racing. I’ve had that happen many times. Your heart doesn’t necessarily have to race. Sounds like you were experiencing panic.
anxiety and panic can cause hundreds of different symptoms, so it could be a combination of any of the symptoms or just one. There’s no rhyme or reason for how it works.
the main thing to do is learn how to manage the anxiety so it doesn’t lead to panic. And I know that sometimes you can be feeling perfectly fine and then all of a sudden anxiety will hit. So it’s important to know what to do when you get the first signs.
have you ever considered speaking with a counselor? This is very difficult to get through alone and it feels great to vent to somebody who has the tools to help you. It’s also important to know the proper breathing for anxiety and panic because that’s the key to getting everything to calm down. There’s many YouTube videos on how to do that. one I like a lot is called don’t panic. She guide you through it and it works really well! your first search for something called stop panic attacks now, and then scroll down to the one called don’t panic. Try it.
dont let the anxiety and panic take over your life. I found out that I had to fight it with everything I had to be determined that I wasn’t going to live that way. I also got some counseling. I hope you feel better soon but try to relax and not take life too seriously. you’ll be OK and keep reminding yourself of that. take care
