it was definitely a panic attack…thats what the ambulance guys said. i dont have asthma.

Hi
I had panic attacks for years, i couldnt breath ,m y heart would race, when I went to the hospital they told me I was hyperventilating , omg I thought I was dying
Its a learned behaviour, I went to classes for 3 months once a week , to unlearn it , for one if you dont open your mouth you cant hyperventilate ! Tell who every you go out with you have panic attacks so if you need to leave , you can , I always had to be near a door , so if had an attack I could get out
Now after going to these classes & learning the triggers which can be anything , I dont have them anymore
I know you feel stupid telling your friends but they are your friends, they should understand
go to therapy , it does help
find what triggers the attacks & face your fears , you wont die I promise
good luck

Thanks.

a panic attack is caused by a release of adrenaline in the brain, it creates the "fight or flight" response in the body resulting in rapid heart rate, rapid breathing, numbness in extremities, feelings of fear. Can even be severe enough to mimic a heart attack.
Skills can be taught to control your emotional response to this physical phenomenon. Adrenaline lasts only fifteen minutes tops in the body, so if one relaxes and breathes thru the attack, it dissipates and ends on it’s own, if one becomes fearful and anxious then one causes the brain to release even more adrenaline and causes a cascade effect in their own bodies.

A panic attack is usually caused by stressful situations. Some people are more able than others to keep their emotions under control. The attack means that you cannot get your breath and feel like you are suffocating. In really severe cases it may be necessary to dial 999 and ask for an ambulance, which when they arrive will administer oxygen and then access the situation to see if a trip to hospital is necessary. A DIY method is to breath into a paper bag, this does work as I have tried it. Hope this info has been useful to you!

Panic attack symptoms are caused by a number of biological changes that occur during times of stress and anxiety. The human body is very resilient, even in times of anxiety we are strong, although we may not feel it. It’s also very true that some people might be scared that their heart will stop, or give up, through the constant racing, thumping or chest pain, this is simply not true; again these are very common symptoms of panic attacks.
No one has ever come to any harm as a result of anxiety or panic attacks! Consider how hard athletes have to work in order to give their hearts the kind of workout your heart receives through anxiety; athletes hearts do not give up, do they? The heart is a muscle, raising the heart rate exercises it, making it fitter. You wouldn’t worry if your heart raced after running for the bus, so why worry about it when it happens during anxiety. Panic attacks symptoms are harmless.
The downside of these panic attack symptoms is that your body will feel tired and shaky after they subside. You may feel as if you have run a marathon yourself. Feeling tired or achy is a necessary side effect, if you are aware that it may happen, when it does, you will know what it is and it won’t scare you as much!
Most anxious people complain of aching muscles and general fatigue, these are very common symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety. Muscle tension can cause pain or sensations of tightness anywhere in the body; most common in anxiety are pains in the chest, neck and shoulders. Tension in these places can be distressing; the tension in your chest may cause shortness of breath or rib pain, and it may make your chest or breasts tender or numb. Pains in the muscular tissues of the neck and back can cause the blood vessels and nerves to become restricted; this can cause headaches or migraine but can also cause the head to feel tender or painful.
It is possible for your face or scalp to feel numb or dead, this can affect sensations around your eye, in your cheek, face and jaw and can even affect the sensations in your mouth. This is caused by muscular tension causing restriction around the nerves and blood vessels in my neck. When I first experienced this, I was very scared as are many of my clients. AGAIN, another symptom of panic attacks and anxiety which causes the sufferer unnecessary worry but is completely harmless. Massaging the neck releases much of the tension and thus relieves the sensations; this works for most people.
This tension can cause feelings of numbness in the arms (usually the left), and also the legs. Don’t be alarmed if this happens to you.
You must understand that the nervous system is found in every inch of your body. There are nerve endings literally everywhere, around every organ, muscle and over every square millimeter of your skin so the symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety can be experienced anywhere! Tension can be responsible for many of the sensations experienced during anxiety.
Symptoms of panic attacks are EXACTLY what the name suggests, a symptom of the disorder not of another condition. These symptoms should be ignored, they have no importance or relevance to you, or your life.
Do not allow these unpleasant panic attack symptoms and sensations to get the better of you, after all that is all they are. The nerves tell the brain what it should be feeling under certain conditions and the brain responds. If tired and anxious nerve signals become confused, the brain may interpret the feeling of ice against the skin as burning, or the eyes might send a confused signal to the brain that makes you see a smooth surface ripple like water. Perceived sensations never have and never can, hurt any one. All symptoms of panic attacks and anxiety are caused by confused bodily sensations and nerve impulses, you may feel like the end is in sight, but it most certainly is not.

panic attacks are often caused by stress or some other ‘trigger’ that sets the brain off into panic mode. most of the time, it’s stress – people may be triggered by being sick, being in the hospital, remembering a bad memory in their life that is frightening or disturbing to them (such as assault, rape, etc), certain noises or sounds, feeling overwhelmed…lots of things.

people can get over panic attacks by visiting a doctor and getting medications such as xanax or ativan that can help to calm you down during an attack. also, by learning things such as deep breathing, meditation, and relaxation techniques, you can also cut down on panic attacks by RECOGNIZING when you are getting stressed or overwhelmed and relaxing yourself before getting into full blown panic.
