"Mornings are dark, and I lie in bed, wrapped in fatigue. I cry often"

7. I have had panic attacks and you KNOW when you are having one!

Suddenly, out of the blue your heart starts beating so hard and fast that you can see your chest pumping, you can even hear it. I have woken with one, got one while driving and another while cooking...none of these happened when I was thinking or doing anything troublesome at all. There was no reason for "panic" or "anxiety". The first one scared me so much since I was having a heart attack (at least that is what I thought)I drove to the hospital but it stopped after I got there.
If you do have one get a plastic or paper again and hold it up to your nose and mouth and keep breathing deeply keeping your breaths in the bag. It works after a few minutes.
