Brain zap before panic attack
The tell-tale sign that I'm going to have a panic attack is a sudden "zap" or "click" in my head. This often comes with no warning, followed by a racing heart, disorientation, sweating, and inability to complete whatever task I'm doing, such as driving (I have to pull over most of the time). It almost feels as if my brain is taking a screenshot, followed by a panic episode. Does anyone else experience these zaps, clicks or "sudden falling" feelings in their head as well as panic? It's quite terrifying and uncomfortable..
oh absolutely, I’ve learned to ignore the zaps as I know what’s causing them (anxiety or high levels of stress) I carry a ton of stress and sometimes by brain just “zaps” or “clicks” and I’ll take a deep breathe and tell myself I’m okay. I know it’s super scary and a weird feeling but I promise you are okay!!
when you do start to have a panic attack, grab some ice and hold it tightly in your hands, the pain with distract you from the panic, I find this trick sooo helpful. You can even eat something really sour
