A stupid question

[lsapphirel]

HI, i am just curious, well, is it just me or its most of us, when a full blown panic attacks happens, do you feel like youre dying? as in your body sensations(i can feel a rush of tingly death sensations in my body coming from my kidney, it wasnt my feelings, i am very sure) not your feelings.. if you know what i meant? i am still disturbed by this still since my PA. so i finally managed to have the courage to ask.

Short answer: yes. And I feel that I die a thousand deaths whenever one strikes.

i know that feeling all too well unfortunately. every time i have a full blown panic attack i am a 100% convinced i will die within minutes, at one point i'd even start dialing my girlfriends number to tell her i love her and that i'm about to die. it's so crazy how anxiety can make us feel. be in control of your brain!

Hii all,

It's scary when PA strikes. I'm still traumatized by it. It's been 2 months long and everything is still fresh in my mind. I don't know how i can control my brain unfortunately. I have only controlled what i ate, what i do, and avoid triggers. It helps eased it a little, but i still cant find where my issues are at. Forwells, none of the doctors could explain that as you did, it does help me though. i feel much better. Thank you all.

Does it feel like having a heart attack? Well, it's one of the most common symptoms of anxiety disorder.

I have many others, like dizziness, Shortness of breath......

yeah the heart attack, but i was most traumatized by the deathly body sensations my kidney was giving out, i can feel it rush out from the back of my waist. The heart attack thoughts are mostly 50% or 60% into my attack, when it reaches 75% to 85% this is when fear kicks in and this is when i will panic and if i dont do something, id freak out, and a full blown will reach me in seconds. During this percentage, if i dont want to eat my meds, i will go to the A&E.
