I have almost no strength in my arm or hands, and I feel like a need to be supported by something (i.e.; leaning).
I also have a pain somewhere in my back, and I feel very much "off in the distance". I feel like I’m going to drop any second, but I know that I won’t.
It started this evening when I was walking down a dark road to the store. All of a sudden, right in front of me was a huge deer, with red glowing eyes. I got scared. I guess I might have thought it might charge at me. I don’t know. My mind was in a fog. All of a sudden, I began hyperventilating and I couldn’t stop. Then I began shaking and just trembling. Soon after, I was inside the store, and I lost almost all of my upper body strength. I had to lean my upper body on the handle
of the cart for support, and just use my legs to move myself about. I also noticed when I went to pick up a box of disposable plastic food containers, that my hands weren’t opening, and I couldn’t move them, so I used my wrists to pick up the light weight box. When I got home, some of it subsided, but I still feel very distant, and I’m having to type in a strange way because of lack of strength.
I’ve had panic attacks before, many times. However, I normally only get a tight, clamping feeling in my chest and I hyperventilate.
Do these sound like panic symptoms to you?
If not, do you have any idea as to what’s going on?
I feel like there’s something wrong with me.
Sometimes after a frightening event, like after a near-collision in my car, it’s hard to breath for a while and shaking and trembling would be expected. Maybe you just need to sit down with a cup of something warm and relaxing for a while. I think eventually you’ll feel normal again. If you still feel strange after an hour or so, maybe you should call your doctor, if you have one.
Hey, im a 6th grader with panic-like attack symptoms. I have cramps a lot, and when my family isn’t near , i usually cant stand it. I have a lot of trouble with sleep overs. Now, my parents are going away for 4 days, and i can stay with someone if i can handle it, and i want to, but i dont know if can. What do i do, cause i really dont want to go?
You really should not choose to be alone while your parents are away considering your close bond attachment to your family. Are you in fear that something will happen to your family while you are not with them? Maybe you suffered some danger or injury in your past that triggers the onslaught of the panic attacks? You are a little to young to be alone for 4 days. It really is not safe for you to publicize the fact that you will be alone. There are those that will take advantage of the situation and prey on your youth and inexperience. Please take my advice and either stay with someone or have a responsible adult stay with you. You may find the following information valuable regarding your panic attacks/disorder. Good Luck!
If not recognized and treated, panic disorder and its complications can be devastating. Panic attacks can interfere with a child’s or adolescent’s relationships, schoolwork, and normal development. Children and adolescents with panic disorder may begin to feel anxious most of the time, even when they are not having panic attacks. Some begin to avoid situations where they fear a panic attack may occur or situations where help may not be available. For example, a child may be reluctant to go to school or be separated from his or her parents. In severe cases, the child or adolescent may be afraid to leave home. This pattern of avoiding certain places or situations is called agoraphobia. Some children and adolescents with panic disorder can develop severe depression and may be at risk of suicidal behavior. As an attempt to decrease anxiety, some adolescents with panic disorder use alcohol or drugs.

My panic attacks happen quickly and only last a short time like less than a minute, but I do not have the difficulty breathing nor do I feel my heart pounding heavily. It is annoying and it happens more than once a day, sometimes even more than three times. HELP!!!
Basically when it starts, I feel like I am burning, dizzy, upper abdomen hurts, and an intense fear feeling, but my heart just beats normally.
panic attacks can vary in the way they affect you.
this is what is called a panic attack:

you def’ need to see a doctor about this.
they can help you with medication and maybe therapy too.
Hi,
Two days ago, when exercising, there were points where it was hard to catch my breath, where I would have to take deep breaths as if I was yawning.
Two days later, I woke up several times during the night with the same feeling… as if I HAD to keep yawning until I caught my breath. I felt better for a few minutes after I caught my breath, and then the feeling kept on coming back.
Are these symptoms of panic attacks? Any ideas what this can be and how to fix it?
Thanks.
Doesn’t really sound like panic attacks but definitely something you need to see a doctor about.
