Panic Attacks

Ok I posted on here a couple of hrs ago because I felt like I was having a Panic Attack. I was just sitting putting my makeup on and all of a sudden my heart started beating fast , I felt like I couldnt breathe and felt like the more I thought about it the worse it got. Is this a panic attack?? I dont think I ever had one before . Do they just come out of no where or does some thing have to trigger them.

Oh hell yes, welcome to hell....they come when ever the hell they want to and it is usually at inoportune moments. Don't have to have a trigger. Just BAMO...HI, IM HERE!
Ya, I have had three today and don't even know what the hell for and I haveen't had many in the last year.
Hang in ther and breath through them and menatally visulize something calming.
Are you on meds for them?

Sounds like it might be. Don't know much about them, except you're supposed to try and calm yourself (easier said than done I know) keep your breathing regular, try to relax your body.

I do have meds for anxiety but I have never felt that way. I felt like I was going to pass out like I was losing control I just dont understand how they just come out of no where. So if I have another one I just breathe through it??How long do they last. This lasted for about 10 min or so

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
