My panic attacks usely start with me noticing i can't think straighh, fuzzy thoughts. Follwed by increased heart rate trouble breathing. Generally can't eat or drink. So i start trying to figured out what is cause the of the attack but usually getting really paranoid about what could possibly be bothering me. When i figure it out i need someone to sit and reasure me everythings going to be okay. What are your symptoms?

I get lumps in my throat that feel like burps that won't go away, horrible headaches, racing heartbeat, dizziness, trouble breathing and just cant control anything and always want to call 911. I used to be ok when someone would just walk outside with me and talk to me but that doesn't seem to help anymore.....

This is my first post...so hello!
I feel like I cant breathe, like im going to pass out, my heart goes a mile a minute, my palms get really sweaty and I get super warm. Usually talking on the phone helps if I am driving or I will start talking aloud to myself and reassuring myself that everything will be okay.

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

    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.
