Huge panic attack/ anxiety. Really scared.

Hi all,
I had a huge panic attack last night. The kind where I felt I was going crazy, I didn't know what to do, I thought about going to hospital. It kept coming in waves. I haven't had something like this in a long time.
Yesterday I have my first tattoo. Something I had wanted for a long time, but I didn't think I would react like this. I know my body is probably in a sort of shock as it was a long sitting, but I just can't shake the anxiety. I hardly slept, I can't bring myself to eat.I was hoping this morning I would feel better but I keep feeling hot, shaky, dry mouth, like I'm going mad. It fells like it will never end and I'm absolutely terrified.
Please tell me this is OK. That this is a perfectly normal thing to be going through. I'm away from home and I'm so scared that I'm going to lose my mind.

Panic attacks are awful I feel your pain.writing this reply makes me have to think about them so put myself in the zone bc don’t take a lot Have one.
it proberly was having tat reason I say this and this is my personal reasons so don’t this as being right you sat in tat chair your breathing proberly deep breathing this often changes blood chemistry to much oxygen or carbon dioxide you have to get it back into sink one best ways get paper bag breath at normal rate in and out for few mins.
I had Hugh one not long ago I laid on floor screaming for help I had mob phone on me and called para medics first time in life did that I medic came door open he came in he said now let’s stand up sit down somewhere and I did my attack started passing off it was because he was there I just held his hand make sure I was real,he did all my stats they normal within an hour exhausted I came out of it.
Can I I add I have epilepsy aswell and the aura is often panic attack and to my knowledge that is all apart from migraine.If no head ache then it panic attack if head ache follows then epilepsy.It may be good idea ask doc for eeg unfortunatly it rubs GP wrong way if mention you googled it well really piss them off so you have to work that one out.
Now these are my personal opinions and tips.As the above says take each day as it comes because forcing yourself not to think about it makes it worse.It is day at a time.Having a tat not something one do often I find if I doing something first time definitely if needle and pain is recipe for PA.So if you having another You now know what tat is like and panic attack maybe ok.
I was thinking about having tat but have to say I am now put off it.I hope this help but as I say this how it relates to me.i wish you well but as above says see doc if not happy,even little diary as when and how this happens show doc.
