Is this how a panic attack feels to you? Can you describe it?!
Question: People talk about a panic attack with chest symptoms, I dont really get chest pain etc, I get dizzy and feel like my mind is shutting down because I am dying.
my symptoms are..
Odd palpitations,
Racing heart beat
Disturbed Irritable bowel syndrome
Dizziness
Visual disturbances
The feeling of being parylised etc
But the main symptom is as if my mind is shitting down and eveything goes dark, like my temples are being slightly squashed?
Seems strange but do you get this? Please describe how yours feel..

Mine sound almost exactly like yours! I get very scared, start to feel as if I'm not real, and the blackness starts to come. I think I'm afraid that the blackness will take over and I will die, but that has yet to happen. I remind myself of that everytime i start to feel nervous. I'm practicing just letting it come over me, or relaxing with deep breathing - because you can't be anxious and relaxed tat the same time, it's impossible!
Best of luck to you, and it was good to know I'm not the only one who gets the visual as well :)
Anxiety hits different people in completely different ways! For example....when I have a attack i get very, very cold and shakey. However, my sisters boyfriend gets very very hot when he has one!!! Heart palputations, dizzyness, sweatyness etc. Are all normal. I find one very good way to calm a attack is to breathe fast and hard
Your description of a panic attack sounds right on. You can feel waves of heat moving thru your body, your palms can be sweaty. Blurred vision. Etc. There are meds for this, that don't make you feel drugged. If you go through this a few times a week, or even 4 times a month, don't suffer. See a doctor.
I can't sit still, my heart races and I get this horrible pain smack in the center of my chest, I start sweating, I have problems breathing, I feel the world is collapsing around me, I feel unreal and that I'm going crazy. I start crying and screaming. I feel trapped. Despite that I can't sit still, I'm really tired. I try to keep moving but am so exhausted I collapse on the ground.
My heart begins to race. I feel warm. Can't breathe well. Feel like I have to run outside and get air. Sometimes cry, sometimes don't. That's how mine feel.
Hmmm..... I understand that..... It familiar with fainted. I forgot the word but its no good. You need to drink a lot of plain water (2.5 litre perday) and breath much fresh air with the right technique..... That is..... Slow deep breathing exercise every day in a good air environment. Make sure you got enough of food supply especially dairy product like milk. Ok? Anything different please consult with Doctor or any Medical staffs.
I can be walking with my dogs and approach an area that is unknown to me and my chest will start tightening , i battle to breath properly , i start panting, my heart beats nine to a dozen and i feel quite sick. I usually have to stop walking take a few deep breaths stand around for a while before i can carry on walking.
As for the bowels when i know i have to go somewhere i am scared of going to my stomach aches and i then develop a runny tummy. I once had that for about 3 months and could not leave the house at all.
It is horrible and i hope you have not got it.:)
Yes...that's how I feel with PTSD and Panic Attacks. I take half mg. of risperdal in the morning. It's the only thing I've found that helps..after trying a lot of things. But, you might need a brain scan. You might be having migraines or have some problem in your brain. I don't have visual problems with them. It's just a great feeling of FEAR..plus the other things. With your darkness...this could be something else...please get checked soon.
it feels like my heart is stopping and im struggling to breath, like palpatations, there really bad when i get them.
clammy hands.. nausea.. diarrea
cant keep still
irrational belief one is dying
sweaty palms
palpitations
general fear
I think a panic attack feel like dieing
