Did I just have a panic/anxiety attack?
I wasn’t breathing right, I was shaking, I couldn’t stop crying, and I had these sudden extreme feelings that someone won’t accept me for who I am. It didn’t last very long, but a few minutes later, it happened again. I don’t know if I had a panic attack, or anxiety attack. Also, what’s the difference? Please Help.
Also, how could I prevent this from happening again?
Okay, I forgot to mention, I’m 14 and I definitely can’t afford any medications. And I doubt my parents would get me any. So, anything cheap? Or any other ideas?
If you ask to see your doctor, then ask the doctor to test your thyroid, adrenals, and cortisol , also sex, and dheas hormones, then get a copy of the lab results for yourself…….. if your TSH (thyroid) is outside the .2 to 3 area then , all these panic attacks could by because of thyroid imbalances or other hormones.
most doctors never test that
then ask for a referral to a hormone expert from your parents…….and have them look into the experts, like these feelingfff.com , thehallcenter.com , drlowe.com , etc…
not regular doctors
compounding pharmacies usually know who the hormone experts are in your area

The only difference between a panic attack and an anxiety attack are the choice of words. The experience is exactly the same.
Judging from the information given in your post, yes, you appeared to have an anxiety attack.
