New Symtom

hi eveyone

i just need to ask a question, is it possible to have a panic attack without really having a panic attack? i think that is what's happening to me, my heart is not racing, but my thoughts are all over the place,, the major thought is that am going to die, my skin is stinging and itching, i feel like crying, and i dont want to move from where i am for fear that something bad is going to happen, i still and am constantly thinking about blood clots, i have spoken to a nurse about it and she assured me that i don't have a blood clot, my foot does not hurt, it is not swollen or anything, there is no indication at all that i have a blood clot, but i just cant seem to stop thinking about it. the nurse told me its my GERD acting up, but i am still really scared. I am not stressed, but for the past few days all i feel is anxious and afraid. sorry for the long post, even while writing this am really anxious, please tell me if anyone has ever felt like this before. my period is two days away, my mom told me thats the reason for all my symptoms, but am still scared, what do you think?

hope everyone feels better, peace and love to all

I get this a lot, in fact the majority of my panic attacks happen without my heart racing but many of the sensations that you mentioned. It is very uncomfortable.

Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Yes, so many of us have these exact same symptoms so you are not out of the ordinary. I have them especially bad upon waking, always convinced I'm having a stroke. Once again, too much adrenaline rushing through the body. And God forbid, if I have a slight headache or something with the panic, I'm SURE it's the big one and I'll be dead in a few minutes! All part of the anxiety/panic spectrum I'm afraid. Stay strong, talk to yourself...it will pass.

hi everyone
thanks for the replies, i really appreciate them, yes SC i will really appreciate more information on coping skills or more coping skills, i am doing alright, but the worry and anxiousness is still there, does anyone skin jumps? when i was having daily panic attacks it happened a lot, and it happened today, freaked me out a little, wishing everyone a panic free night
