Panic Attack?
I have always thought that I was crazy or faking and I am so thankful to have found a safe place to ask questions about my possible panic attacks. Ever since I was a little girl I have had instances where I have a sudden rush of emotions. My heart starts racing, my face gets hot and sweaty, I have a pounding in my ears, sometimes I struggle to breath. I usually feel like I will pass out and a couple times I have. When this first happened to me, I was ten years old and my mom took me to the ER. The doctor told my mom that I was faking and that I needed counseling. Ever since that experience, I have felt horrible when I have these episodes and I don't know what to do to help or prevent them from happening. They always happen during very stressful or emotional events. Are these panic attacks?

sounds exactly like the panic attacks I get. Last week I ended up calling 911 because I thought I was dying. I'm so sorry you are going through this right now.
