Title: Panic attacks - Your experience with it.
Post by: devvybabe ♥ on March 11, 2010, 02:46:23 PM
In class, we have been discussing panic attacks (I take a medical-based class) It is said that it's the worst feeling a person can ever feel in his life. Have you ever had one? If so, feel free to post about it if you want. :)
If you have experienced these in a certain amount of time at some point in your life, then you may have encountered a panic attack * Palpitations, or accelerated heart rate * Sweating * Trembling or shaking * Sensations of shortness of breath or smothering * Feeling of choking * Chest pain or discomfort * Nausea or abdominal distress * Feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint * Derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself) * Fear of losing control or going crazy * Fear of dying * Paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations) * Chills or hot flashes
(got this list straight from wikipedia)

Among the discussions I've had with other students, one of them was pinned between two heavy furnitures and that caused a panic attack. And another one was skateboarding and fell on his back and hit his spine very hard to where he had a difficult time breathing and he thought he broke it and that caused a panic attack as well. It can be simply getting stuck in an elevator that caused a panic attack or getting lost in the woods when darkness fell.

If i got lost in the woods i'd have a panic attack seeing as how there are no woods within a hundred miles of my house.
