good day everyone,
i hope that you are all doing well today, i just have a quick question, does anyone ever get a panic attack without really getting a panic attack? i mean, your heart is not racing or anything, but you just feel like a zombie, you just want to sit and do nothing and at the same time feeling as though you're gonna pass out? i have been feeling that way, i have GERD and have been burping a lot, i just drank some antacid and i feel a little better, every now and then there's a pain just below my breast bone, it brings on panic thinking its my heart. i read something online recently about someone dying from am aneursym and its stuck in my head, i woke up with a headache and i keep thinking of that, dont know if that's the reason for the zombie like feeling, any response is welcomed.

Hi bungie. If I'm reading your question correctly, the answer is yes. I actually don't really have full blown panic attacks but just ongoing anxiety symptoms such as being light headed, muscle pain and tension, sweating, depersonalization, etc. I feel wound up like a tight rubber band a lot. I also know it's easy to read about or hear about someone else's health issue and worry about having it yourself. For lack of a better way to say it, please try not to let things like that bother you. Have you been to your doctor and discussed any issues you're concerned about? That may certainly help put your mind at ease as well.

hi mysweetpanda

thanks for the reply, yes i feel so tensed its not funny, but what bothers me is that i cant seem to shake the feeling and if i dont it leads to a full blown panic attack, but am hanging in there doing things to distract me and make me feel like my old self again, thanks for the advice and i wish you a panic free day

Thanks bungie. I'm with you there. I try so hard to stay busy and distracted, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Breathe and think positive!!!

Yes, every panic episode can differ...but those feelings you describe sound like anxiety to me

I am sorry you were feeling so anxious this morning...not the way to start off the day, right?

I hope you are feeling some relief now, and can leave the symptoms behind, and go on to have a peaceful day full of calm and wellness!

For me: Absolutely. I think i came to develop a fear of having a panic attack. Many times, I know I don't go into a full-blown attack but I had a strong urge it's going to happen. I also have a lot of issues with digestion/stomach-related with this anxiety which is my number one concern.

I wouldn't be so bothered by having anxiety/panic to be honest if it wasn't for all the nausea and stomach problems I'm having :(

Hi Bungie, I'm glad you are feeling better. It helps me to read the symptoms of anxiety too, it refreshes it in my brain that I'm not crazy, lol.
