Did I have a panic attack? Called ambulance.

[Worrygirl32]

Hey you guys, so today I was cleaning the house a little bit and I may have had some lingering anxiety. Anyway, I layed down for a little bit and I felt this overwhelming sense of doom come over me (like panic attacks that I have had in the past that have come on suddenly) but I couldn't shake the feeling. It was so overwhelming. I stood up to walk outside but the feeling was overpowering and I felt like I was in a daze. Again, I felt like I was loosing control and was about to drive myself to the er but the feeling was so strong I was scared I couldn't drive. I called 911 and the ambulance showed up, I had a full panic attack at this time. But now I'm concerned that what I experienced was a partial seizure. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm seriously paranoid. It was not like anything I have experienced. Obviously that is why I called 911.

Yup a panic attack but what did the paramedics say?

They said panic attack, but it felt so weird!!! I'm so worried I experienced a seizure!!!!

You would know if it was a seizure. So just chalk it up as a panic attack and nothing more.

Hi, I have been through what you describe above so many times before. Definitely a panic attack - they can be extremely scary :weep:
