Panic attack, anxiety attack or anything else?

[Haley]

Hello! I just want your opinions on this.

Sometimes I just suddenly feel like I'm going to die without any reason. Most of the time it happens when I am eating...I'll suddenly feel that I'm choking (eventhough I am obviously not). My heart will heart will race and then I feel like I'm having heart attack.

I always try to calm myself because if not I really think I'm going to die. I ahve never told anyone about this except my brother.

lots of info about panic attacks on the net, if it is one it helps to try to accept, relax and breathe deep and slow
get checked out by doc
panic attacks dont mean you are going crazy or will die so do tell doc

I Have Been Lucky, Saw A Good Dr, Gave Me All Kind Of Test In Hosp, Found Out It Was Panic Attacks, Gave Me Medicine, Had A Rough Time For About 5 Years, No Problems Now, This Started When I Was 29 Years Old Am Now 77, You Have To Really Fight The Attacks.
Best Of Luck To You.
