Tonight... totally at random... really short of breath, heart racing... I had to run into my room, open the window, stick my head out and take some breaths outside in the cold... then I cried, and had to pull myself together for dinner... It was weird.

    aw, mark.. yikes I hope you're okay.

    I have had them before. I am really afraid of flying, and sometimes I get them when I am on the way to the airport.. Not a fun thing!

    I've been on medication for panic (anxiety) attacks for over five years. It is the worst feeling I have ever had. My advice to you is that if they persist go talk to a doctor
    I'm so dangerous I smoke dynamite.

    have had many of them. yours sounds at least like it was a mild attack, only because it sounds like it did not last long. i have had them last hours, once i had one that lasted over 6 hours. my then wife, called my sister and they were convinced they needed to take me to the hospital, which made it worse.

    i finally just passed out and slept for most of the next day.

    if they keep up, go to the doc, b4 they get outta hand.
    Peace, Love.

    hope you are ok. the first ones are the scariest, especially if you completely black out. as someone mentioned before, definitely see a doctor as it could get worse. on the other hand, it could be an isolated incident, but it's safer to get it checked out for peace of mind, or the anxiety from the first attack can snowball and only make things worse.

    hope it was just a one time thing, though.

    Go see a shrink and spill your guts. I've seen one on and off for about 4 years. It helps. I'm actually do for one soon.

    Thanks - yeah. I've had a few like these in my life before but they've always been 'mild'... which makes me question if that's even what they are and maybe I'm just a cry baby or a wuss, ya know? They are mild, but they are also there. They're real.. it'd be easy for me to just pass em off as me being an idiot.

    You've had a lot of shit on your plate recently. As Stone is God suggested, maybe seeing someone would help? I have a couple of friends who see a counsillor and they say it really helps. Amusingly one of them went because of depression related to his relationship with the other one but that's another matter :p

    I thought the same way but if you don't learn how to control them they will control your life. I hold everything inside and that's why they show up. That's my issue. Sometimes if you have a ton of shit gojng on it's good to plug into a neutral source.

    Just eat some white chocolate and you will be fine. ;);)
    Hope you are okay.
    I had one once last year. It lasted a few minutes, thought it was a heart attack at first. I think a lot of it is mental but what the hell do I know?
