I want to know if this is a panic attack or what. It starts with this midly nauseating chill going through out my chest up my throat, suddenly i feel light headed and the weirdest taste in my throat. then come extremely discomforting self doubting thoughts and paranoias. its hell though , really. and i sometimes
feel fatigued after. fortunately never last more than 2-3min. sometimes it kinda feels like im on the verge of a heart attack or somethin'...hard to explain it more accurately. whatya'll think?

I am no expert but there is a strong likelyhood that you are experiencing panic attacks.I have had some pretty strange and some similar symptoms that were diagnosed as anxiety/panic attacks.You may want to see your doc just to be sure,but in the meantime,I would try not to obsess over every symptom.That just makes them worse.I was having hot flashes sooo bad and every time I thought about having one I would have one.Horrible feeling.You are not alone.

well they say that feeling as if your going to have or are having a heart attack is one of the symptoms of pannic disorder...does anything trigger it or does it just occur? also when this happens your best bet is to try thinking of something you enjoy doing and just getting your mind off of it. I know it is hard but if you think about it and start freaking out its only going to make the pannic attack worse by fueling the fire
