Hi. I'm pretty sure I had a panic attack last night, and I'm now scared to go to bed tonight in case it happens again. The thought of it is bringing on mild symptoms right now.
I used to get these quite frequently when I was on the pill, and put it down to being scared of getting a DVT. I haven't had them for years though.
What I'm feeling is a tight, tingly sensation in the centre of my chest and across the top of my stomach, dizziness and a vastly increased awareness of my breathing. Last night the room was spinning and in the end I was so frightened I had to wake DH.
Someone please tell me this was a panic attack and nothing worse. Then please tell me how to shift the feelings I'm having just now so I can go to bed and not have it get worse again.
