What just happened?

Hello everyone

I just recently just had a pretty bad scare and wanted to share it with you guys to get your input. So before all of this happened i decided to do a little workout of some pushups curls and stuff like that i did feel a little anxiety i think because during that i had some strange feelings that i cant explain well enough. I experienced kind of like butterflies but in my chest and got my heart rate up a bit. afterwards i decided to lay down because the bad thoughts started to flood my mind in response to my workout and now i have been thinking lately enlarged heart and i like check my chest for where the beat is the strongest because thats where my heart is and some times i feel it lower than usual but thats because it can be felt in many parts of the body so thats not accurate. i have gotten every test on my heart done and still worry because of the internet tells me that i have this and i hear stories of kids who have died instantly because of it. Anyways then i started to get a little tired and decided to take a nap. When i woke is when this all happened...

when i woke up i was really weak, pretty dizzy, dazed to wear i had a hard time focusing on things, my whole body was covered in sweat and i was having panic with short breath and trembly. and i was scared because i was like " what the heck is going on with me this has never happened before" and it hasnt this is new to me. and i was ready to pack it up and go to the hospital because i thought something was actually wrong with me! I went downstairs and told my parents and they just told me to sit down and to relax and i was still having trouble. My dad then gave me some water and i drank it and it made me feel a little better. then i went back upstairs to tell you guys this now and to this moment i am still a little dazed and have some anxiety running through me.

so my question is what is this and what happened during that time i fell asleep and woke up and why did i wake up like i described? i have honestly never felt like this before and it is completely new. i did not take a xanax and am just waiting it out. is this harmless or is it something to be concerned with?

Thanks Kitt

It was just a really scary experience. Afterthought therapy on Friday I felt reallllllly good! But then yesterday I deteriorated a bit and today with that incident I just don't even know what to say about that other than it was scary and never happened to me. Your link didn't work on my phone but I will try on my computer.

Yehaaaaaa, I got it for you.  Just click on the blue hypochondria and it will take you to the info.

I really liked this info.  Be well.

Jocipher-- I've had very similar experiences. What you're describing sounds like typical anxiety disorder. I used to wake up in all kinds of anixety states. It's been many years since I had those experiences. Over time I was able to find a good combination of medications and now I only have a couple of 5 minute attacks per year. Sometimes I would go years without any attacks at all. I used to have numerous panic attacks per day and my entire life was controlled by anxiety and agoraphobia. Treatment works. Now I live a virtually panic-free life. You will too.

I was at my friends last night and I didn't really have much anxiety but I did have the symptoms unfortunately.. I remember last Friday after my therapy session I felt so good I felt I was on cloud 9! Then as the next day rolled around I'm back into the vicious cycle. In fact I was feeling so good I had the confidence to run! But I didn't. And I go on walks somedays and try to run. I do a very short distance like a point A to point B kind of thing. Near the end I start to feel a little off.. Obviously.. But my hearts doing what it's doing but my body isn't reacting well. Thanks anxiety. I'm trying to remember what my therapist told me because that's what made me feel great! And I'm trying to remember what it felt like when I was normal and ran normally with no issues because I do remember it and sometimes feel it just thinking about it. My therapist told me to put myself into my fears this next week and the week after because I won't see him until next week:/ but my anxiety is really fighting back. It's like symptoms galore. But I'm still trying my best.
