sounds like you are having a panic attack.
Can you try to take deep breathes and tell yourself everything will be okay.
Try to work through the attack. I know it's hard. I've started having more panic attacks everyday and I get the severe chest pain.

are you sure

hey rolly i hope this helps. i get like that alsmost everytime i get an attack and for some reason is happening like everyday now. i feel my pulse and its scary because i'm laying down and for no reason is fast and also get light headed a lot. and the other weird thing my left arm hurts like if someone was burning me or putting neddless is weird sometimes i think is a heart attack or something but i figure if it was a heart attack i would be in the hospital by now but this has happen to me soo many timess. why dont you go to the doctor so he can send u to the cardiologist and neurolgist and you'll see that there is nothing wrong with you :). sometimes i doubt that is a anxiety but the good thing is that at one point all of that goes away just try to relaxx watch tv go out. and just think that nothing is going to happen to you. anxiety doesn't kill peoplee good luck

Rolly,

It's just anxiety. Those darn nerves have a weird effect on us. Try getting in the bath tub and soaking and when you're done, do your nails, etc... You're going to be ok, it's just your nerves. Take a nap, anxiety and panic take a toll and it makes you mentally exhausted. The more sleep you can get, the better.
You are not anxiety and you are not panic. You are YOU, "they" are not.
Also try some dep abdominal, slow breathing and call your Dr. to make sure everything is ok, that will ease your mind also.

You're going to be just fine~~ HUGS !!

i've calmed down a bit feel a little relaxed now

it feels like you are dying when you have a panic attack. There are real physical changes that occur because your body goes into a flight or fight response. And your adreneline goes up. Etc. Heart beats faster, you can't breath. What helped me is that once I got the stresser out of the way... negative thoughts, or just driving in my car, the panic attack would go away in about 15 minutes. So it was easier to get thru knowing there is an end. But it can keep you in a cycle. So maybe a warm bath, because panic attacks mess with your circulation as well. And your digestive system. And your muscles all tense up. Fun times, huh? But I'm with you. And sounds like everyone else here is too. And surprise thinking.... wow I'm doing so good I havent had a panic attack will bring one on. Arent we the lucky ones? hee hee NOT

I've been in the doctor's office thinking that my heart was beating fast and my pulse was racing. Not so. It just feels that way. Panic attack.
