Worst night of my life

Hi

Hi Caroline, so sorry to hear you have cancer, I hope you recover soon.

Your message seems to have ended abruptly so not sure how we can help or give advise but it must be awful having to deal with both anxiety and cancer.

I've posted again I think it's waiting to be moderated! Basically last night I had an argument with my daughter and a scan it was a stressful day. About ten pm I stood up

And felt so dizzy and couldn't see properly and felt like I was going to pass out. Heart was beating out of control was very scared. Then I forgot words like pillow and could not communicate with my dad very well. I calmed down after about ten mins and eventually fell asleep. Not sure if this was a panic attack or not

Hi Caroline, sounds like an anxiety attack, did this start because you felt dizzy and you felt like you were going to pass out? 

You calmed down which is good, you'd had a stressful day which could have brought it all on, I often go dizzy when I stand up but it passes after 10 or so seconds. Neil 

Yes it came out of no where I stood up and felt dizzy and out of it and vision was blurred it felt like I'd been drugged but definitely had not been. The panic then set in quickly
