First anxiety attack?

Last night I experienced something I had never before and even this morning woke up with the same dread and heavy chest I slept with.
I keep having extremely distressing intruding thoughts, in particular involving my toddler coming to harm, not being harmed by me in any way should I add. ISIS feature in the thoughts a lot. However I have been having one horrible "day dream" which has given me crippling anxiety about going over railway crossings by now I completely avoid having to drive over them. However last night my mind became clouded so that this was all I could see and I couldn't stop shaking and itching myself even now writing this post is bringing back the heavy chest pains and itching that I felt last night

Hi ADJ
That is an anxiety attack but as a panic attack and anxiety sufferer you have to try not to dwell and overthink that experience because then it just starts taking over. I had my first one 18 months ago and I remember those feelings. You aren't alone xx
