not a good day

[tigger]

Hi,
I found this forum today and have been under alot of stress but i had an episode today that really scared me.
I was having coffee with my neighbor..sitting down and i felt "funny" ..not dizzy but light headed...i stood up and tried to go to her door but i really thought i was going to pass out..it was a horrible feeling and i've never had it before...i keep thinking was it anxiety or was it physical. My overall health is pretty good...my anxiety is another issue..but at the time i was perfectly calm..having coffee and a conversation when it hit.

That is how a panic attack can happen. I get it too and PTSD, I can be sitting calm and then all of a sudden I'm thrown into a frenzy and it is really scary.

Just in case, had you eaten properly? Low blood sugar brought on by not having eaten can cause that feeling too. I suggest to see your doctor. He may give you some medication that might help you. Let us know how you get on.

Have you had this happen before?

I hadn't eaten but nothing that i don't ordinarily do. ..this has never happened before..i've gotten maybe a little light headed but i came very close to fainting..everything went funny and i felt like i lost control. I can get myself into a panic if i'm worried about something but i was just sitting and having coffee when it started.
