Yep you have had a panic attack. You have just described the classic symptoms of one, plus anxiety and possible depression.
What is worrying you ? You probably know what it is. Your body is telling you something's up and reacting accordingly.
I think you need to see your GP and he will probably give you something to give your body a rest from your mind.
You will gradually feel much better and the light will come back on into your life.
Try CBT, mindful and meds.
Best of luck because extreme anxiety is so debilitating.

To be honest not 100% sure what it is in sure it's a cross between stress at work and health worries
I can be fine for so long then it just hits I've been ok up till Tuesday I was eating just not a lot on the Tuesday then later felt sick then that's when the feeling like I was going to faint happened feel quite nervous this morning trying to breathe deeply etc
I have a appointment anyway to see a nurse on Monday so will be asking about this
