Well, the symptoms for a panic attack don't totally correlate. It usually happens like this: I'll be sitting doing whatever then I will suddenly notice that I feel my heart do something strange. I'll start to think about it, then start getting hot and start shaking and put my head between my legs because I know I'm getting ready to pass out. I don't have any dizziness whatsoever. They ran a check on my thyroid a year ago, but maybe we need to run it again. I keep thinking that I'm causing myself to feel faint because I can't help but think about how strange I feel when an episode starts. I try to figure out exactly what brings it to my attention and it's usually my heart. Almost like it slows down or something. It sounds so weird. I sound like a crazy hypochondriac or something. Anyways, thank you for the responses. I thought there was no harm throwing it out there to see if anyone could relate. After having AA I try to take note of anything I find strange or unusual.
