Panic attacks can be extremely scary. Try to remember that the sensations you are feeling won’t hurt or kill you, and try doing deep breathing to calm down. The problem with panic attacks is that as soon as the first symptoms begin, we get scared and that makes more symptoms which make the fear level climb. They can be controlled with talking yourself through them with calming thoughts. I know what it’s like and have learned to control mine over the years. Try doing as much reading about them as possible because education is your best defense.

You might have anemia- symptoms are similar.

You also might be hypoglycemic.
Fatigue, insomnia, mental confusion, anxiety, nervousness, mood swings, faintness, headaches, depression, phobias, heart palpitations, a craving for sweets, cold hands and feet, forgetfulness, dizziness, blurred vision, inner trembling, outbursts of temper, sudden hunger, allergies, and crying spells are all symptoms of hypoglycemia.>

It sounds like anxiety and although you do not want to go to a doctor that may be your only way out. If you trying to calm yourself is not helping please go see a professional. It can have so many devastating effects on your head and body. You probably need some medicine and the best place to get it and be monitored is through a healthcare professional.

Sounds like a panic attack, but one can never be sure. It’s anxiety of some sort. a doctor could really help, but eventually you need to learn relaxation techniques that can help you calm down. First, you should relax or meditate for about 10 minutes to 30 minutes a day. Then when these times come, you can call on that reserve of calm and do this. close your eyes and take a slow deep breath. Take another. Say Calm, Cool,Collected. Do that until the feeling passes. Other techniques can be added. There are how to books on relaxation and panic. Good luck.

Unfortunately, the thing you’re trying to avoid is the best thing to do. Doctors aren’t so frightening, and you can’t do this byyourself. A doctor can put you on something for the anxiety, and you’ll feel SO much better. Eventually, you should see a therapist to get to the bottom of what’s causing the panic attacks. Do this for yourself. You deserve to feel better and live fully.

Well, there are alot of ailments that mimic panic attacks like hypoglycemia for example. But if fear of dying is making it worse, it most likely can be panic and anxiety. I have had panic disorder for over 15 years now, and my best advice to you would be to see a professional and nip it in the bud. Iif it is bad enough that you are changing your daily routine medication might be the answer

good luck

Panic attacks do not last longer than 10 minutes. There are effective medications to treat Panic Attacks. I suggest you see a psychiatrist and a therapist.

I know, I’ve had a history of panic attacks myself. Take Care
