I have been a long time sufferer of anxiety. I've always had health anxiety and always afraid of bad things happening. I have recently started counseling again due to numerous family issues and I also started on Zoloft again about two months ago which has helped my anxiety. I also have Xanax that I taped for breakthrough anxiety attacks for when I'm terrible nervous or upset about something. I have several classic anxiety symptoms however I had a first today
While sitting at work I noticed my hands felt shaky. I was trying to steady my hands above my work desk and could not keep them still. I felt like Anxiety was coming on so I got up from my desk and went to the ladies room. I felt like I was coming down walked back to my desk. This was nothing out of the ordinary. Then all of a sudden. My hands were completely numb and tingly. Almost like when you're footfalls asleep. Then I felt this incredible sense of hot and warm on the inside of my body Fuck throw my neck and my chest and my head. My heart was pounding at least three times faster than it normally does. That is an anxiety I have never had. I was getting terrified, almost like I was having a heart attack or stroke. After about 7 to 10 minutes from the initial onset of my hand shaking. I started to feel normal again although it took a solid hour before my shakes/nervousness were completely gone.
Was this what's called a full blown panic attack? I have had small anxiety attacks here and there in the past but never anything that included my heart racing. But I read other people's posts and I see that they at times have increased heart rates
Please. I welcome any comments
